* Jules from ''Webcomic/SupernormalStep'' is quite fond of these.
-->Jules: Come along then. You can be my apprentice... or squire... or... whatever.
-->Van: What does a squire do, Jules?
-->Jules: I don't know; he squires. We'll look it up in the dictionary later.
* Red from ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' lapses into this when describing such esoteric concepts like ''rooms'' and ''chairs''. "[[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=320 Sitty-downy things,]]" indeed. This is implied to be a function of serious gaps inherent in the education process prior to becoming human, because while chairs are a foreign concept she jabbers off about some seriously advanced nonsense.
* [[CloudCuckooLander Eddie]] from ''Webcomic/EmergencyExit'' has a particularly amusing (especially if you haven't read the story) example [[http://eecomics.net/EEArchives/?strip_id=288 here.]]
** [[DeadpanSnarker Saya]] also uses this trope on [[http://eecomics.net/EEArchives/?strip_id=1053 this]] page while referring to the previous example.
* In [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/74 this strip]] of ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}'': "You'll be defeated like... like... like... like some easily defeated '''thing'''!"
* ''Webcomic/ScaryGoRound'' does this all the time, especially Shelley.
** Example:
--->'''Amy''': I think it's a vampire! Stab it with a stake!
--->'''Shelley''': We can't do murders on it!
** Another, laced with sarcasm:
--->'''Amy''': I've not been this surprised since I discovered... ''something desperately unsurprising.''
* In ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'', Scarlet, among others.
--> '''Scarlet''': A bad, floaty, shooty, tinny thing is being bad upstairs!
* [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_225.php Mab's gut feeling]] in ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures''.
* Parodied in [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=990516 the "Muffin the Vampire Baker" story]] of ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''. "I'm going to do my best to distortify the English languagism thingies." When Muffin hears that vampires can be killed by staking instead of baking, she declares she's now "Muffy the girl who sticks wooden thingies into vampires".
* ''Webcomic/AntiheroForHire''
-->'''Dechs''': You want to catch me, like the spider caught the fly, huh? Well now the spider has become the spided!
* At one point in ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'', huge lizard-man K'Seliss says, "... There is battle happening ''right now'' all around me and I'm stuck in this pathetic hut like some... hut... stucky... thing!
* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': Fighter's ''true'' [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/09/07/episode-076-fighter-and-red-mage-are-back/ power]]:
-->'''Red Mage:''' We'd be better off using harsh language than the ''pathetic'' wooden pieces of... pathetic... weapons that these people call... weapons.
-->'''Black Mage:''' Um...
-->'''Red Mage:''' Shut up. I've been hanging out with Fighter all day. I could literally feel him sucking away at my... brain-thinky score thing.
-->'''Black Mage:''' You mean intelligence?
-->'''Red Mage:''' By Mordekainen's [=+ 5/+ 5=] wand of sorcery, he's lowered my INT score just by being near me!
* ''Webcomic/{{Adventurers}}'' gets some mileage out of this.
-->'''Khrima:''' [[http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/20051217.html "Burn in the flame of shadows like... um... some sort of shadow candle thing!"]]
* Kris Straub's comics use this. In ''[[Webcomic/{{Starslip}} Starslip Crisis]]'', sometimes this is future slang, and sometimes it's just "Fooly-fools!"
* ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'': Wonderella and her sidekick Wonderita.
* In ''Webcomic/YouDamnKid'', the narrator's parents get into an argument because Dad is looking for "the thing for cutting the things" and is angry that Mother doesn't know what he's talking about. "Imagine your parents not speaking for two weeks because Dad can't remember the words for 'toenail clipper'."
-->"Go ask your mother where that other thing is."
-->"Other thing?"
* In a ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'' strip [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/59 (link)]] where Largo tries to explain LeetSpeak to Junpei, the best he can do is:
--> '''Junpei:''' What is this "ownz'ed"? You must show me, master from a foreign land!
--> '''Largo:''' It's like this, you know, this l33t thing, that you do when you, like, ownz someone.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': There are those who consider [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0699.html the Monster in the Darkness]] to be "as dumb as things that are really dumb."
** Haley's brain feels [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0749.html "like a psion... did some psiony stuff."]] In fairness, Haley was having a large hangover at the time, and so couldn't come up with a decent metaphor.
* [[http://wayofthemetagamer.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/34423 This]] ''Webcomic/TheWayOfTheMetagamer'' comic.
* The page image is from [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20041208.html this]] ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' strip.
** They drift into BuffySpeak again in [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2017-03-15 this]] strip.
* An issue of Webcomic/LifeSketch had the title of [[http://Kitty-the-Waterbaby.deviantart.com/art/LS-08-Buffy-Speak-153518990 Buffy Speak,]] though the content itself had nothing to do with the trope.
* Occasionally used for effect in ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl''.
--> '''English I Student:''' Like there's this word in the English dictionary for how I'm feeling right now towards you...
--> '''David:''' Mad?
--> '''English I Student:''' Like oh ma gawd, yess!
* In Webcomic/GaiGin, Foxy shows Gin some novelty taiyaki: "It's cakes! Shaped like penises! [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Man penises!]]"
* Surprisingly, Dr. Schtein of ''Webcomic/StringTheory'' speaks like this.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', "Heidi", [[spoiler:AKA Elliot's party girl alter ego]], [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-06-06 tends to]] [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-06-08 talk like this]] along with being generally [[GenkiGirl hyperactive]].
* A small example in ''Webcomic/OctopusPie'' where Eve was [[http://www.octopuspie.com/2010-08-09/380-the-thing-where-the-air-is-cool/ taken aback by certain luxuries present.]]
* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' Bob does this periodically. Elaborate high tech devices tend to get designated as "thingies."
* Happens frequently in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', since most of the characters are thirteen years old. Especially with John, whose [[BlowYouAway Heir of Breath]] powers are consistently referred to as "the windy thing". {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d:
-->[[color:#0715cd:EB: i'm going upstairs to the big platformy thing.]]
-->[[color:#b536de:TT: The alchemiter?]]
-->[[color:#0715cd:EB: ??]]
-->[[color:#b536de:TT: Try to learn the lingo.]]
** It's a RunningGag that nobody knows what to call the "flappy doodad" that exists on a mailbox and has some trouble coming up with a description that someone else can understand. (The technical term seems to be 'signal flag', by the way, but somehow that's not very satisfying)
* ''Webcomic/TheThrillingAdventuresOfLovelaceAndBabbage'' mixes this with ArsonMurderAndJaywalking, as Isambard Kingdom Brunel tries to convince Lovelace to go back to Babbage.
-->'''Brunel''': Where would science be without the Engine? Archaic! Puny! Boring! It doesn't bear thinking about! I'd be able to build gigantic iron ships, certainly--but could they ''fly''?\\
'''Lovelace''': It would indeed be difficult...\\
'''Brunel''': Would Darwin be able to mess around with his, uh... barnacles he won't talk about?\\
'''Lovelace''': Um, that one I'm not sure about...\\
'''Brunel''': ''Would Faraday be able to that whatsis with the thingamajig??''\\
'''Lovelace''': ''No! No he would not!''\\
'''Brunel''': '''''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Now get out there and do whatever the hell it is that you do!!]]'''''
* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' presents the [[http://xkcd.com/1133/ Saturn V rocket with Apollo and LEM spacecraft]], explained using only the ten hundred most commonly used English words.
* In ''Webcomic/MSPaintMasterpieces'', [=DisgruntledFerret=] likes to play around with grammar and tenses.
* ''Webcomic/{{Sunstone}}'' has Ally describing her first S&M movie as having "porny exaggeration" and "costumey visual side."
* ''Webcomic/{{Wapsi Square}}'' has Castela, currently in kindergarten at the paranormal school, who slips back and forth between a five-year-old version of this and an occasionally startlingly-sophisticated and insightful, "mature", speech pattern.
* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' Zeetha is guilty of this [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140509#.Vv1jMOIrLIU at one point.]] It's put down to her spending too much time with Jaegers, which just shows that the Jaegers have too many examples of this trope to list.
--> '''Zeetha:''' ''You've'' got the brains, ''I've'' got the muscle, Violetta's got the ''sneaky!'' We can do ''anything!''\\
'''Violetta:''' The "sneaky"? ''You've'' been hanging around ''Jaegers'' too long.
* Schtein from ''Webcomic/StringTheory'' is quite prone to this when excited or [[{{Angrish}} upset]].
* ''Webcomic/GuildedAge'': Frigg in general. Highlighted in her daydream during her attempts at diplomacy (without violence) with the gnomes.
--> '''Frigg:''' Sorry Ardaic! I tried my best, but someone accidentally killed them to death.\\
* ''Webcomic/BoyAndDog'':
** When Rowan has a stuffy nose, he claims that his "sniffer's full of stuff".
** Rowan once gets an award for being the "goodest" eater.
** One of Rowan's parents offers him a "fruit pouch thingy".
** When Rowan the electricity is down, Rowan and Murphy claim that the "zappy stuff isn't zapping".
