I think this could become a Richard Osman game show: Machine,device, appliance or IJDGAF (wasn't a similar show mooted on HIGNFY last week?)
Edited to add: Good decision B3 - be decisive.. call everything an appliance or coin a new(ish) term - a 'gismo' - my car is a gismo, my fridge is a gismo..the world is made of gismos. (Apparently it's spelt(spelled) with a 'z' - so must be American, and hence unusable as a term here due to copyright - so maybe 'thingymajig')
Me this morning: I'll just do this, I'll just do that, then I'll do the other thing before I get out in the garden in all this lovely sunshine. This email to send, oh, phone call to take... Read that @Dovefromabove from above has rain and thunderstorms. But maybe not coming down my way? So just get this done and I'll be out there. Guess what? It's all gone dark and I can hear thunder coming from over the river in Norfolk. Pah!
The forecast for this area on the news last night was for a dry and mainly sunny day. Lying b******s. It was bright early on and then heavy rain and thunder by lunchtime. I'm trying to get weedkiller onto a gravel area at the front but there's no point when the rain keeps washing it off.
Regarding machines and devices, in a similar vein yesterday I was mulling over at what point looking for something can be upgraded to searching for it.

'Looking for' involves humming or whistling to yourself and picking up and looking at the things you move in order to see what's behind or under them and generally looking quite happy. 'Searching for' involves swearing, slamming drawers and doors and generally looking quite annoyed.
The first one is more likely to uncover the object in question, although, as is well proven, the best way to find something is to look for (as defined above) something else.
