What do you call the TV remote in your house?

[TooFirty]

Just some light lols while I'm moping in bed getting over a bug..

Some people have hilarious names for the telly remote

In our house it was the Zapper or the Button Presser

My nan called it the Wobbler

In my friends house it was the Bipper

@squashyhat are you Scottish by any chance? If not you do know what Jobby can mean in Scottish slang? 😂 just wondering if it was deliberate or accidental lol

Just the remote here but growing up in my parents house it was the box

Sodding Thing

As in,
Where's the Sodding Thing gone? 😡
Who' got the Sodding Thing now? 😡
Sodding Thing isn't bloody working. 😡

The Zapper here too OP

The doodah or the thingammy.

For everyone who calls it a zapper -

What part of the country did you grow up in?

Curious to know if this is a regional thing or random.

The doings

As a child my family called it the Do-flicky or the Flicker-me-Jig. Now it is the Not-phone, since the time I picked it up instead of my mobile, and tried to use it to make a call.🤣

Pinger

My late MIL called it the dib dab, sadly passed away with Alzheimer's

Doodah.

DH's family called it the telly box

But it's just a pinger to me - I thought that was its actual
Name !

Fat controller. Named by DS when he was a big fan of Thomas the Tank and DH was (large) and in charge of the controller.

Remote, controller or thingymabob / whatchamacallit

The Plonker

Same 🤣

The remote but as there are several, it's telly remote, Sky remote, Apple remote, etc.

We call it the doodah.

The stick

Are all the people (like me) who just call it ‘the remote’ just too scared to post?

Parents called it The Box of Tricks. PIL the Trickety Trock.
We just call it the (TV) Remote
or @Turnitoffnonagain the Telecomando in Italian.
