Time for another funny sign

Wyalkatchem Museum was very impressive. There were four large sheds full of old tractors and farm machinery and other rooms holding household items and memorabilia. There was room for items to be spaced out and everything looked freshly dusted and clean. The entrance fee was lower than some museums that we’d been to and the souvenirs were very reasonably priced. Whoever did the signage had a sense of humour too. The machinery sheds were labelled ‘Bill’s Shed’ or ‘Brian’s Shed’ or whatever. I know those aren’t particularly funny but we did like this one which pointed us up the stairs to see more items. Do you use 'stuff' when you can't think of a better word?

Sometimes I say "stuff" even when I know exactly what I'm talking about if I don't feel like explaining myself.

It's a handy word when you're feeling lazy. It covers a multitude of things.

Stuff is a perfectly acceptable word. It reminds me of that line in America’s “A Horse With No Name,” only it should have said “birds and plants and rocks and STUFF” instead of things.

It's very handy to be able to say 'stuff'. It covers such a multitude of items.

I am guilty of using a few common words (stuff, things), when nothing better comes to my mind.

@JudyEv I do the same, no matter which language I am speaking.

I can get very lazy at times and use whatever word comes to mind first.

Seen that one a few times Stuff, I use the word stuff now and then if I can't or don't feel liking describing something properly

That's when it's at its most useful - when you don't feel like explaining yourself.

@JudyEv Like I'm doing stuff just now is my usual reply when I can't be bothered doing anything for anyone else even if I am not busy

Yes I use the word stuff when I can not think of a better word for junk.

I guess mostly it's junk we're referring to when we say stuff.

Not very professional …maybe. ‘ items ‘ or ‘equipment ‘ could have been used instead

It could but then you wouldn't have smiled at it.

Oh, I like the personal touches. Sounds like the museum doesn't take itself too seriously, and that appeals to me. I probably use "stuff" on a daily basis!

This was a great little museum though not so little. And you're right. It doesn't take itself too seriously.
