Does anyone in the US understand the expression watchamacallit?
- Inglês (EUA)
Yes, it is used to refer to a thing that you have forgotten the name for. It's short for "what do you call it". Example: "I need to replace the whatchamacallit in my car's engine."

People will understand this phrase. However, it's outdated and sounds unnatural to use in a serious situation.

I wouldn't reccomend using it in any formal way. Many people do understand it, but it's more of slang. Actually, I believe that there's a candy bar out there called whatchamacallit
