Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
It's a... ? ?
" whatcha-ma-call-it " = a colloquial common purpose noun for any object whose name can't be recalled. "thing-a-majig" is also sometimes used in a similar fashion.
In this constructed dialogue the speaker can't remember what the "thing" is called so the speaker instead substitutes "whatcha-ma-call-it" in place of the noun that he can not remember. Afterwards, the speaker remembers the name of the thing. The speaker exclaims, "Oh, that’s right!" in recollection. The speaker has finally remembered that "it’s called a fiber-optic cable".
This should start with "It's" and not "It", don't you think?
I think that's what maaster was pointing out.
Oh, I see it now. Even when there are typos, my brain always glosses right over them as if they didn't exist. Thanks.
Of course! Perhaps I wasn't unequivocal enough.
