Hardware
This q is merely to "save face". Recently I sent a company wide email regarding a missing dongle. Needless to say, I've gotten more than helpful replies back. Do you have the actual term and definition for what my company refers to as: the "thiga mabob"?

It is a southern slang to reference an item that you donot know what the actual name of a item is.
reply could have been thiga ma jig.

I was not asking about a "thiga ma bob", but thanks anyway.

I'm assuming you mean the little network adapter cable for a pcmcia card. If that is the case, then you are correct, at least according to 3com. Their documentation describes that adapter as the dongle.
If you want some proof to back yourself up,try this url and click on any of the links that come up.
