Examples.

Yesterday I was in a good restaurant and I ate a “whatchamacallit” plate. I can’t remember the name of that plate.

I remember a phrase similar to this topic, I’m not sure if it’s a placeholder, but even so is very helpful when you don’t remember something

Let’s say- digamos

Whatchamacallit was in front on me and I realized after 2 corners.

How d’you call this way for creating the apps faster.

what more placeholders are there?

Segun chat gpt:

“Whatchamacallit” es una palabra informal en inglés que se utiliza para referirse a algo cuyo nombre se desconoce o se ha olvidado. Es similar a la palabra “thingamajig” o “thingamabob”. En otras palabras, es una palabra que se utiliza como sustituto para referirse a algo cuando no se recuerda su nombre o no se sabe cómo se llama.

What are “place holders”? convey a fresh and natural message when you are speaking. which are words we use all the time, you just probably didn’t know they were called that.

You use “placeholders” when you don’t know, forgot or don’t know the right word to call something. Watchamacallit. The place was spectacular and I ate whatever it’s called.

You are using this placeholder because you forgot the name of the dish you ate

thingy is normally used for objects. Just put your back there next to that thingy.
Placeholders are fun, just remember they’re informal.
