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.
