I don't know why I say this, but when referring to the microwave I usually call it the Doo Dah. Does anyone know where I may have got this expression from please?
 
Same reason why everything in our house is either called "The whatsit" or "The thingybob"..............:rolleyes:









memory loss:D
 
Well, in our house things are called 'The dopherator'! No idea where it came from, I just remember my sister and I used the word as teenagers.

POM :angel:
 
I thought that 'doo dah' is what the Camp Town Ladies sang.

sing all the night,
sing all the day,
bet my money on a bob tailed nag,
somebody bet on the bay.

Ok. all together from the top...
 
and John Cleese in Fawlty Towers :D When he bet on the horse Dragonfly
Mrs. Richards lost her money
 
Prior to the above mentioned song, it used to be 'doo-dad(s)' although I have no idea as to the true meaning, or origin.
