Neither of those.

I should add that I don't know what it's called, but it's something everyone should recognize.

A letter opener?

Except you'd know what one of those was called??? I mean, what kind of clue is it that you don't know what its called? :)

You're right, but seeing as you selected device I'll go with contraption. Specifically the pointy gold coloured part of one.

Oh, and its a rabbid (rabid rabbit). :)

Now I am confused. Suppose the object really is a thingamajig. But Broncosaurus doesn't know it's a thingamajig, so when I correctly identify it as a thingamajig, how will he know I'm correct?

I wasn't confused (more befuddled) but I am now.

Can we have a larger crop please. Maybe no crop at all would help our guesses. :)
