The Whatchamacallit RSS

My favorite Moroccan Arabic word is سميتو or /smee-too/. It's a stand-in, a "that thing" or "whatchamacallit," that you use as you search for what you are looking to say.

Sea stars wrap their arms around the animal’s shell and pull it open just enough. And then it pushes its stomach through its mouth and into the bivalve’s shell. It then digests the animal and slides its stomach back into its own body. This unique feeding mechanism allows the sea star to eat larger prey than it would otherwise be able to fit into its tiny mouth.
