Nah! I've seen a thingy before - it looked nothing like that. It's not a wotsit either. It might be a thingamigig - I've never seen one of those

That's the point; nobody knows; not even the guy who's selling it; possibly not even whoever made it

Yeah, it is one of those things.  You know, one of them.  It does that what do you call it.  You know.  That is certainly what it is, I wouldn't mistake that for the world.  You see them all over the place, just last week Uncle George sold one to that guy down the road for 10 bob.  Personally I think he got a bit of a bargain, but it was missing that bit that makes the other bit do that thing when you turn the bit at the bottom.

I think it's a model generator,  similar to the ones created for third world wind turbines.
