The quotes we say when describing things we don't understand

Hello,

I have noticed that when I am trying to describe something I don't understand, I will use very descriptive words, such as "woogie" "spinny" "whackie", etc.

Example:

Quote:

You know that woogie whackie thing that makes the dinguses move? Yeah, its broke
