2 expressions I don't understand

Can you help me to understand these 2 expressions:

Little finger cymbal thingies - Referring to finger cymbals (or zills), we tend to add "thingy" to things we're describing that we don't know what they're called.

She got something up under the contact - My guess is that this refers to a contact lens, and this person had some kind of a debris or irritant underneath the lens (i.e. between her eye and the lens). 

Thanks!

Interesting!? Well, I dont know and there is no context, so I will guess. 1Little finger cymbal thingies. 2She got something up under the contact. 1similar to: --- Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes//she shall have music wherever she goes. --- except in this case, she has tiny cymbals on her fingers. 2.... under the contract? A typo? She had inserted some clause in a legal contract? If not, then @torusan's explanation sounds plausible.
