• but how what pictures are there of an abstract, non-existant concept? Quark1005 (talk) 08:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We had a tool when I was in the service that was called a widget on the box: It was a razor-blade mounted on in a plastic holder, which made it an all-purpose cutting/scraping tool. Does anybody else remember this?165.97.69.26 (talk) 21:23, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The corporation about which the action centers in the 1961 musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is called World Wide Wickets, and it's made obvious that most of the people involved have no idea what a wicket is. Of course, the protagonist manages to create a multimillion dollar marketing plan that reveals absolutely nothing about the product. This sounds like an early application, if not the origin, of the "widget" concept, even if they pronounced it differently. WHPratt (talk) 13:58, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
