Pronunciation: guess-moe

Sentence: To Jimmy anything with a seemingly random stream of letters and numbers after its name is a guessmo. The new iFadpad 7X37tz comes with a free firewall and is a shiny thing of beauty. But Jimmy didn't know if he could talk to his mum with it or if he was supposed to attach it to his wall and let it download the internet into his brain. Maybe it was just a fire alarm.

Etymology: A play on the word 'gizmo'. Having to guess at the function of a gadget due to a lack of technological knowledge.

Sentence: Alice flashed her doohickey at Todd and he was floored. 'Wow, what is that?' he exclaimed, itching to get his hands on the device. 'No no Mister, don't you dare touch my doohickey until you've read the manual' she cooed.

Etymology: 'Doohickey' first originated in 1914, but seems fit for a revival. It derives from the word 'doodad' (gadget) + 'hickey' (love mark)
