This is a colloquial term representing the words what(ever) you may call it, which indicates an item whose exact name is not known by the speaker, such as a widget or other unfamiliar object.

It is also rarely used in place of the similar terms "whatsisname" or "whatshername" (what's-hisname or what's-her-name) for a person whose name is temporarily forgotten.

The proper noun "Whatchamacallit" is a candy bar manufactured by The Hershey Company.
