    We have a lot of conversations like this in our house. My MIL, may she rest in peace (though I doubt it), used to fill all brain-gaps in her conversation with “that devil” instead of “thingy”. So you got asked things like, “Where did I put that devil when we came in?”These days, it’s, “Where did I put the thing?” “What thing—oh, I know, you mean the…the…doohicky!”

    To Brian Crane, Thank you for a great strip, and especially this one. I first heard Hawkeye Pierce use that line on MASH in the 80’s, and have been shamelessly stealing it ever since. Keep up the good work. You make this old guy smile every day. Jake

    I’ve had those same conversations! From the comments, I see I am not the only one. :)

    I call something “The Thing” or “Thingy” a lot. Wish I could get out of that habit.

    I always ask; does it have a name? much easier to find when you know what your looking for.

    My wife is a lot like Opal. Constantly looking for her “thing” or “thingy” or some other nonspecific noun. And I’m supposed to know specifically what that nonspecific thingy is. I keep reminding her of what we learned in marriage prep class: Don’t expect your spouse to be a mindreader.

    Just talking about it- brings out memory. She’d feel more more foolish talking by herself.
