The passage:
In English there are many different kinds of ｅxpressions that people use to give a name to anything whose name is unknown or momentarily forgotten. The word gadget is one such word. It was first used by British sailors in the 1850's and probably came from the French word gachette, which was a small book. In everyday use, the word has a more general meaning. Other words are also used to give a name to something unnamed or unknown, and these words tend to be somewhat imaginative. Some of the more commonly used ｅxpressions are a what-d'ye-call-it, a whatis, a thingamabob, a thingamajig, a doodad, or a doohickey.
