Ne?

In case ya'll were wondering, Korean's don't know or understand what a thingajigger is.  Guess they don't teach that word in the Engrish classes here.  Here's how I know...

I split lunch with a friend of mine today.  She went to get a drink while I waited for our order.  When our sandwich was ready, I knew we needed another plate or something so we could  half it.  So, I asked for another "sandwich thingajigger."

The poor guy just cocked his head to one side and said "Ne?"  That would be the equivalent of "huh?"  I held up our sandwich and said can I have another sandwich holder thing.  He then said oh and handed me one, kinda giggling and smiling at me. 

I guess he hasn't gotten to the southern part of his Engrish lessons.
