(slang, originally, US) A thing (used in a vague way to refer to something whose name one does not know or cannot recall).
(US, slang) A thingamajig; a whatchamacallit.
A wonderfully specific Midwestern Americanism used in Kansas and Nebraska as a stand-in for any unnamed object — a thingamajig, a doohickey, a whatchamacallit. 'Doodinkus' is the kind of word that sounds made up even to people who use it regularly, which is precisely part of its charm. It belongs to a rich tradition of placeholder words that English speakers reach for when the real name of something temporarily eludes them.
(Canada, South Africa, US, informal) A gadget, device, or object whose name is either unknown, forgotten, or omitted for the purpose of humor.
