Fidgetoid, n. an object with which one fidgets.
A Google search reveals no substantive results, so I’m gonna call this a new one.
It came up after this Tweet from Geof:
I’m a fidgeter at a desk. I fidget. My current object of fidgeting is a UAH Hockey puck that Coach Cole gave me. Indestructible.

My reply:
@gfmorris A hockey puck is a good fidgetoid. Can cause some damage if you get mad and throw it, though. 🙂

There you have it: language evolution in progress. I can only hope that my language hero, the late William Safire, would be proud.

You just wanted to use Blackbird Pie to embed a couple tweets.
Well, that, too. 😛
