Your Definition
To oversimplify the nomenclature or description of a part to the point where it could be interchangeably used with over 100 different parts or common items. The modern equivalent of using "whatchamacallit" when referring to component that require a more technical description in order to be identified in the future. Particularly unsavory practice around engineering circles.
