What do you call the "remote control" in your household?

It was the “clicker” for a long time. Now it’s just muffled grunts or “that thing” if further explanation is needed.

Clicker.
Where the clicker?

We simply call it the remote.

Zapper.

the remote

I call it a remote.

My wife usually refers to it as either the remote or clicker (using both about equally)... unless she is being childishly cutesy, in which case it’s the “magic click-click thing!”, or just “Clicky thing!”.

Flicker

(also the name of a body part attached somewhere on my your noggin’. If you’re picking up what I’m putting down)

Growing up, we called it the zapper. I’m not sure what my husband calls it since we don’t have a television.

The remote. Most of the time we just make the motion of pushing a button when we are referring to the remote.

^^ Aww. haha!

The remote, that’s what it is, isn’t it?

Mine – California.

It’s either Mom’s remote or Dad’s remote. We have 2 of them for the same TV. My Dad is a little hard of hearing, so my mother will use her remote to turn the sound down when needed. And Dad will turn up the sound up to full blast (instead of turning it down, for some reason) every time the phone rings.

The remote…

Clicker, remote, or controller. Or we just grunt at each other making hand signals at each other.

I knew my family was weird. We all call it “the controls”. I don’t know anyone else who does that…

its kinda epic in a way. “Yo, ill handle the controls for the next hour”

The remote or the controller. Ohio.

In my parents’ house, it was the button. Now it’s the remote. (Way up in the Great White North.)

I call it the “bodger”. My family have always called it the bodger and I grew up thinking that was it’s actual name. To this day I am still surprised when people don’t know what I am talking about when I say “pass me the bodger”.
