Also, a lot of those sort of words that kind of get made up in the fly, for things which don't really have a name:

  • Leanerbackeronnerer (a thing for leaning something back on)
  • Putterinnerer (a thing for putting a thing in another thing)
  • Doofydiddler (a thingumy, wotsit or doofer)

Exactly. I wish it were more socially acceptable for an adult to shout "Shabba!" at random intervals throughout the working day, but these days I just have to think it and enjoy it quietly to myself.

About 30 years ago, I was told off in French class with the line:

"Shabba bien merci is neither funny nor correct French, Fakeman"

Doofydiddler

This reminded me of one my mum used to say: "Dooferator"

Haha! That's what my parents used to change the TV channel with :)
