The thing that you change the telly with - what’s it called ?

[TheBolterdahling]

1. Clicker
2. Popper
3. something else

Control box

The twatter

The Thing. Or DD calls it the thingie (because she won’t read the best books Mummy recommends and therefore doesn’t get the joke!).

Doodah

Currently, like a PP, it's a child. The one who constantly destroys remotes has to change it for us on the set.

when we have one that's working it's

The remote
The fat controller or
The doofer. The later is usually accompanied by a feature Kin to a finger pressing the buttons.

I call it the remote. DH calls it the controls. DS3 calls it the “trolls”

Frankie (Frank Zappa)

Confused 1of dc1s friends when I asked dh for frankie do-dah and he handed me the remote for the kitchen tv😂

The Flicker

The clicker or the fat (short for fat controller)

Button

The squirt, but always prefixed to show which squirt.
As in "please pass me the telly squirt".

Doofer.

Doofer, West Midlands.

Mainly "The Buttons"

Or rarely "The Remote"

Just the one button? And no definite article? Controversial.

The remote or the control

The controller

Doodally in my house

The remote, or remote controls.

Didgeridoo

It has No Name. It is summoned by an impatient flat palm (facing upwards) and sometimes a little wave of the hand. The wavee then hands it over to waver. This is the universal summoning ritual. At least in our house.

The Changer

My DH calls it The Plopper.

He cannot understand why I refer to it as The Zap Module.

Butler
