    Hi Max,
    I think thingymijigg is when you want to name something and can't quite find the word for it. It's when you have it on the tip of your tongue. It's like when you have a senior moment, too, which I have lots of lately. LOL

    Whatchamacallit- it's delicious too! :P

    Whenever one of my friends is feeling good about something, he says he feels crunchy. I guess he's trying to coin a phrase. Try it with someone and see what they think. Just say "I'm feeling crunchy." I know I thought he was crazy, but now I like it.

    Hope you all have a crunchy night!

    It's a very ancient usage of the word, and is no longer commonly accepted by most English dictionaries.
    I'm very surprised to hear that it isn't accepted by most dictionaries. And I must say I don't think it's an ancient use, because I've heard it and used it many times.
