Hi there, gadget collector!

Doodad is a lighthearted word for any small gadget or gizmo. It popped into American English in the early 1900s, arriving alongside playfully vague synonyms like "doohickey" and "whatchamacallit." The next time that mystery adapter resurfaces, just call it a doodad, stick it in a drawer, and forget about it for a few more years!
