What is an example of a gadget?



from a stupid person who has spent most days at school, then in my room doing nothing but listening to music, don't know much about this world hahaha.

That is a French sounding slang word that is used to refer to a perhaps contrived device like a mouse trap, coffee maker etc.

I did find a page referencing the French use of the term, which lists synonyms including:
appliance · contraption · contrivance · convenience · gizmo · gismo · widget
