Do you have any special name for your TV (or other) remote?

My system amp remote is known simply as “AMP.” When I had/used my VCR, it’s remote name was “VICTOR.” The small silver remote for my DVD player is “CASPER,” and the TV remote is known only as “THE POWER.” When watching TV and someone asks “Where’s THE POWER?”, I can hold it aloft and say loudly “I HAVE THE POWER!” (To quote He Man from Masters of the Universe.)

No. I have a TV but I only watch DVD’s, no regular TV. Mostly I watch things online.

Stranger. I go months without touching either the TV or a remote, other than my car’s door locks. Light switches are as close to remote controls as you get around my house on the average month.
