Hoowah: General Shadowclan exclamation of happiness. If one is a
Headbiter, can be reversed to gain 'Woohah'. Not to be confused with
'Bubhosh', which, as a word, literally means 'Very good'. 'Hosh' means
'Good', 'Nub', means 'No', 'Not', etc... basically a general negative.
And, while 'Nubhosh' means 'Not good', 'Bub' does not mean 'Very'.
'Thingamajig!' is a little more complicated... I (or more technically
Rupert) am/is the User of 'Thingamajig!'. By popular convention, its
physical appearance is that of a vaguely symmetrical staff, with two glints
passing a few millimetres above the surface symbolizing the single quotes,
which can be removed when the 'Thingamajig!' is to be used.
The prototype of the 'Thingamajig!', the 'Thingy' was crafted in response to
the need for an implement that, when faced with any given question, would
serve as what was, what wasn't, what is, what isn't, what will be, and what
won't be, all combined into one cohesive whole.
The 'Thingamajig!' is more refined, and can be described simply as 'Every
possible answer to every possible question.', or more concisely as 'The
appropriate response to any given situation, regardless of whether the User
actually is intellectually aware of that response.'.
In theory, it shouldn't work. However, it practice, it usually seems to.
Of course, it could be the other way around, and no one's noticed yet.

/You're/ getting a headache!? Do you have any idea what it's like, trying
to work out whether we exist or not when the question keeps coming up (/not/
including you... augh, this is why we usually have the Hub speak when
conversing with individual humans. Or emmels, as the case may be) again and
again!?

No, I don't care if I am. I *know* me to exist, everything else is...

You don't care if you are what? *confusion*
Fair enough. From our point of view, we don't know whether or not you
exist, either...
"Confusing, indeed. I know for a fact that I exist, but there's no
guarantee for the other two."
*points* "What he said."

I think. Therefore, I exist to think. Or, at least, there's some entity
that believes itself to be 'I' which is thinking. Either way, /something/'s
thinking, and perceiving. The only question is what.
