zebra thingy

"Zebra thingy" is another word for traffic light.

Used when an idiot doesn't know what a traffic light is called.

Mark: I'm going to be stuck here for hours because of this zebra thingy!

Dan: Zebra what?

Mark: Oh, I meant traffic light.

Thinghood

Noun. An Aristotelian-derived term which references that which makes a thing itself. Taken up in the Metaphysics where it is is also more confusedly known as "substance". Not contingent on material. The first, or most primary way of being.

I was happy to observe my thinghood remained intact despite the tumor.

thingy bopper

2) A word to use in place of the correct terminology of an object in order to trivialize or belittle it's importance

My boss asked me to review some of his paperwork on his day off, but those thingy boppers take too much time away from my work.
