\nOver 50,000 years ago<\/a>, humans started speaking and we\u2019ve not shut up since. Sometimes, though, we struggle to remember the name of an object, a place, or a person we want to talk about. The technical term for this phenomenon is \u201clethologica\u201d.<\/p>\n

While severe word-finding difficulties can be due to serious neurological issues, such as a stroke or dementia, drawing the occasional, temporary blank is very common. Unsurprisingly,\u00a0stress<\/a>\u00a0doesn\u2019t help, and it\u00a0gets worse as we age<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what can we do if we\u2019re coming up empty yet still want to keep the conversation going?<\/p>\n

Well, there are different ways of dealing with this problem. We can hesitate, using so-called fillers like \u201cehm\u201d and \u201cuh\u201d to buy us some time, in the hope that the right word will make a delayed but triumphant appearance.<\/p>\n

We can describe what we mean, hoping to still get the message across. (Recently, it took me a moment to figure out that the \u201cflat things that look like doughnuts\u201d my daughter was talking about were DVDs.)<\/p>\n

We may even be able to recall certain formal characteristics of the word, like the first letter or sound, or how many syllables it has and generously offer these clues to the puzzled listener: \u201cYou know \u2013 this guy we met last week, I think his name starts with a G.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is why we also call this the\u00a0tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon<\/a>. We\u2019ve almost got it, and our brain is doing its best to use all stored bits of information (for example, on the word\u2019s pronunciation and meaning) to come up with something useful to say, even if it isn\u2019t the correct word itself.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, this results in us making up words on the spot (referred to within linguistics as \u201cspontaneous\u201d or \u201cad-hoc coinages\u201d). You may not find them in the dictionary, but they usually still make sense in context.<\/p>\n

Even young children already come up with them in an attempt to put into useful practice what they\u2019ve already learned about language \u2013 like the six-year-old referring to a women\u2019s shampoo bottle as a \u201clady thing\u201d in a\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0on language play.<\/p>\n

My favourite example in this category, though, is a\u00a0Tweet<\/a>\u00a0about a German customer in a Welsh pub who couldn\u2019t recall the word \u201ccutlery\u201d and politely asked for \u201cfood weapons\u201d.<\/p>\n

Last but certainly not least, we may use ready-made placeholders like \u201cthingamajig\u201d, \u201cwhatchamacallit\u201d (for an object) or \u201cwhat\u2019s-his-name\u201d (for a person).<\/p>\n

Apparently, the struggle to find the right word is real and has been for some time, because the Oxford English Dictionary has its own category for these terms, labelled\u00a0\u201cthing or person whose name is forgotten or unknown\u201d<\/a>. It includes 64 entries and some records go back as far as the early middle English period (1100\u20131300).<\/p>\n

Not all of them are still used today. The last attested use for the strangely evocative \u201cwhiblin\u201d was in 1652, for example, and \u201cjiggumbob\u201d is marked as obsolete.<\/p>\n

Others, like \u201cgizmo\u201d or \u201cdoodah\u201d are still going strong, though, and you can even buy \u201cWhatchamacallits\u201d and \u201cWhozeewhatzits\u201d \u2013 they are chocolate bars made by Hershey\u2019s.<\/p>\n

There are threads on Reddit dedicated to collecting placeholder words in\u00a0English<\/a>\u00a0and from\u00a0around the world<\/a>. They are worth exploring, with gems like \u201cdoomaflitchie\u201d, the Dutch \u201chuppeldepup\u201d and the German \u201cdingsdabumsda\u201d.<\/p>\n

Next time you\u2019re using \u201cwhatchamacallit\u201d, appreciate it as your brain doing its best.<\/p>\n

By the way: do you still remember the technical term for failing to recall the right word I introduced at the start of this article?<\/p>\n

Yes? Congratulations!<\/p>\n

No? Well, you and your brain know how to handle this.<\/p>\n
