What about "Dings" or even "Dingens", which could be translated to
"thingy". In Germany one can say "Dings" to everything of which one is
not shure what ist is. If you only forgot it's name you may call it
"Dingsbums". Maybe one can tranlate that as "foobar".

I would like to read a technical draft full of those words. (It seems
like many people speak like this but nobody wants to write it!)
