If you’re looking for a placeholder when you can’t remember someone’s name, there’s always whats-her-bucket. Or try using the Newfoundland catch-all term buddy, as in buddy wasisname. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Whats-Their-Bucket”
Here’s another word from Newfoundland that I am borrowing. It’s Buddy What’s-His-Name.
Is it like Joe Blow or when you don’t know somebody’s name and you just kind of toss in a placeholder?
Yes, yes. I collect those, and the one that I’ve been using lately is What’s Her Bucket, but I like Buddy What’s-His-Name.
Oh, I like both. What’s Her Bucket, yeah. That’s really cool.
