🗣️ 每种语言里似乎都有一些“占位词”（placeholder words）——当我们一时想不起某个东西的准确名称时，就会用它们来代替😄。在英语中，常见的例子有 “whatchamacallit”（相当于“那个叫什么来着”）、“thingamajig”，以及简单的 “thing” 或 “stuff”。如果一时想不起某个人的名字，还可能会用 “so-and-so” 来代指。✨👉你的语言里有没有类似的“占位词”呢？比如中文里的“那个”“那玩意儿”“某某”等。欢迎在评论区分享！💬 #美国建国两个半世纪#

It's common for languages to have something called "placeholder words," which are words that speakers use when they can't think of the correct name for an object. Some common examples in English are "whatchamacallit (a quick way of saying "What do you call it?")," "thingamajig," or even the simple words "thing" or "stuff." If you can't remember a person's name, you might call them "So-and-so."
