doings
What's been happening
Doings are activities, events, or happenings—often with a hint of bustle or mischief: What are the doings at headquarters?
The word can refer to things whose names you can't recall or don't bother specifying: Hand me that doings over there.
In this vague-noun sense, it works like thingamajig or whatchamacallit.
