Whatchmacallit is a candy bar, but a thingamabob is the thing that you use to turn a widget.

They are the same thing . It is when you cannot remember the name of something. You are liable to say " You know a thingummybob, that thing that i had a while ago." Or' I cannot find it, you know that whatchermacallit that I was using."
Anything that its correct name is unknown or will not come to mind at a given time
