As I don't have a paid account I can't make an actual "poll" so I'll just ask you to comment.

That drawer with random stuff in it, the one that's probably in the kitchen. What do you call that drawer?

A.) the "miscellaneous" drawer
B.) the "junk" drawer
C.) the "whatnot" drawer
D.) something else (explain)

Personally I call it the "whatnot" drawer as that is what I heard growing up.

May I ask where you grew up and how old your parents are?

Most Texas, with forays into Alabama and Arkansas. My parents were born in 1931 and 1932,

That nixes my "older parents say 'whatnot'" theory -- as my parents were born in 1928 and 1932. Hmmmmm.

The only time I can remember saying whatnot is for a little shelf that holds tschotschkes - that's a what not shelf :)

(And no, my parents NEVER say tschotschkes :) )

So at least you know what a "whatnot" is. ;-) Many people do not.
