An informal term for a gadget, gizmo, or object whose name is unknown, forgotten, or considered unimportant; similar to 'doodad.'
Variant or close relative of 'doodad,' possibly from reduplication 'dood-' combined with '-ah,' an informal suffix. Common in American and British English since the early 20th century.
'Doodah' appears in the classic 1913 song 'Camptown Races' (the 'doo-dah' part), showing how these placeholder words were already part of popular culture a century ago!
