True those words are not in Websters version of the dictionary but I believe I did see them in the Dr. Seuss version, and he must be a credible person- he is after all a Dr. !!!!
I whip out my webster's dictionary and pull out these definitions:
whosis-slang for any person or thing: jocular substitute for a name forgotten or not known
thingamabob or thinumabotb-see thingamajig-any device contrivance gadget etc. jocular substitute for a name not known or temporarily forgotten
newfangled-new novel a humorously derogatory term :
Then again the next time you'll see thingamajig used in a sentence is beyond my guess.
