Thingee ain't Eng;lish Clyde, it's Anglish.

And a twit is also a bird, but not in the proposed context of it's
induction into the professional lexicon of the piano technician - now
seconded. Carl's usage, prefaced by the word "some", in the form of "some
twit" is a classic example of the value of the term in eliminating a lot of
unnecessarily detailed descriptive verbiage. It's a natural and long
overlooked potential addition to our professional discourse. I say we adopt
it immediately before some twit decides we need to form a committee to
study it to death.
