The blaster.
I've heard of most of these names before, I think clicker and popper are the only two I haven't.

The remote.

But at my parents' house it's "the beeper" because the very first one we had (70s) used 'ultrasound' of some sort - but audible, so it would make a different high pitched sound for each button pressed.

FelicityRelaxington · 28/04/2022 19:51

Doofer!
