"whatsit;what's the expression;what do you call them" is
not in daijs but common with rising intonation in mid-

<upd_refs>Paul Blay added it in 2007, quoting a Tanaka sentence set: http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/77004 which implies that ナニ is used for that. If no other reference carries it, I think it can be dropped.</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>Can we split なん out into a separate entry? The only overlap is with sense 1. All the other senses should have reading restrictions but that would look messy.
The "whatsit" sense is a pronoun, not an interjection.
Added adverb sense.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I've noticed that ナニ (always in katakana) is frequently used in Japanese subtitles of English-language movies/TV shows with the meaning "penis". I asked a native speaker if this is really an established expression (when I first saw it) and they commented it's at least commonly used like this in subtitles.
It's really a subsense of sense 2 but it seems common enough to get its own sense. "masturbation"/"to have sex" don't seem quite as common (and I haven't encountered the word used like that in the wild/in Jp subtitles either)
I considered creating a separate kana-only entry for ナニ but it can be and is of course used with other senses of 何 too and I wouldn't want to direct users looking up the more innocuous use to the wrong entry.</upd_detl>

ナニとは何ですか？下ネタなのは雰囲気で分かるのですが、意味がわかりません。
...
「ナニ」とか「アレ」は、そのときの文脈で判断するしかありません
「俺のナニを」ならチンコのことでしょうし、「ナニをしてるときに」なら自慰行為、「彼女とナニをしてたら」ならセックスのことでしょう
https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q10190001520
性的な意味で「ナニ」とはどういう意味なのですか？？
...
おちん〇んのことです
...
性器の事だと思いますよ
https://oshiete.goo.ne.jp/qa/10272176.html
少し下品な話になってしまいますが、たまに男性器を「ナニ」と呼ぶことがあると思います。

ナニ
「ナニ」とは・・・なんだろうね。
(もしかして)→男性器・セックス

<upd_detl>"dick" is originally a euphemism too - "Ultimately from Dick, pet form of the name Richard. The name Dick came to mean "everyman", whence the word acquired its other meanings." (wiktionary) (though wiktionary also calls "dick" (with the meaning penis) "vulgar")
I've seen ナニ in subtitles to represent quite vulgar words so I think "dick" works ok if it's the last gloss.</upd_detl>
