in conversation with my brother just now, he couldn't remember the word for what we were talking about and so referred to it as a jobbidoofer, as we do in these parts (or possibly just my family).

What's your word for a thingumajig?

Cowey.
Or perhaps it's spelt Cowie?

"Thing" in various guises seems quite popular..
