EN: knick-knack, trinket, small miscellaneous object
This refers to those little trinkets, gadgets, and miscellaneous small items cluttering up your tito's garage or your lola's aparador. It’s the hardware store's worth of screws, wires, and unidentifiable parts you keep 'just in case'. 'Ano ba 'yang mga butingting mo?' (What are all these knick-knacks of yours?)
