Random Thought #148

What is a "thing"? Is it an object, an idea, a filler word? We use thing in so many different ways, it seems like thing doesn't really have a true definition, it changes depending on the context. Dictionary.com has an interesting definition "some entity, object, or creature that is not or cannot be specifically designated or precisely described". So thing is used in place of something we can't describe but we can't really explicitly describe thing so is thing a thing?
