OMG! clicker or remote?

[NeBuLaDiStOrTiOn]

omgomgomg this is gonna drive me crazy 4 the rest of my life, but anyway...

do you call the remote a "remote" or a "clicker"? because.. i sure as hell have been calling it a "clicker" my whole life. polaris just made fun of me for it, too. i just wanted to know what you ppl call it... hmm...

clicker...

[Polaris]

i cant say "clicker" with a straight face
:rofl:

[Weavern]

Clicker is from the old black and white and early TVs when there was only one button (yes some had 2 but not important) and it had a clicking sound when you went to change the channels. Remote is and is more widely adopted due to the advant of colour TV with the lack of clicking sound and more options for it. VCR remotes also came into play in securing this. Generally it can be called clicker, remote, or controller.

[Polaris]

*controller only available in the Soviet Union

[Blacksand]

In Soviet Russia, remote click YOU!

[Rubba Duck]

:lol:

acutally i call it a tele pad, or just pad

[1337 Jesus]

Yeah, Diffinatly a remote. The only thing I have that clicked was..........Well I didn't. Well my VCR was the first serious of VCR's availible. But it sounds like its going to explode if you push to many buttons. I'll take a picture some day.

[allied56]

its a remote end of story

[Tigre]

Dare I say it, well I am old enough to remember the first color TV's that came out. The Flintstones was a primetime cartoon specially made for the new technology...:lol: . The early remotes made a clicking sound when you depressed the buttons, and they were huge too! So, they were called, "clickers". I guess it stuck in Neb's part of the planet, where I am from also. But, alas Nebby, I call it a remote now, sorry.....:nyah:

[Captain Salazar Snowberry]

I call it the channel changer.

[Bentusi]

it's a remote.

A clicker is somebody with their tongue pierced

[MVB]

I think the reference was that if Star Wars comes on, most reasonable people make rapid use of the GODBOX.

To change the channel ... to ...

well, I suppose even THIS AMAZING COLLECTION OF CUBIT ZIRCONIA FOR $50! would be superior

Thank you for saving me Mr. Godbox.

[NeBuLaDiStOrTiOn]

OK! how bout:

does everyone call a grinder a grinder? or like a sub or a hoagie?

and does anyone know what dungaree's are? without looking it up?

what does everyone call their soda? is it pop or something?

CLICKER!!

[Captain Salazar Snowberry]

I call "soda" or "pop" Coke, Sprite, Root Beer, or some such.

Neb, a grinder like a meat grinder? What the hell is a hoagie, or dungaree?

[Karmashock]

remote, soda, sandwich/sub.

[Burning]

the lightsaber thing actually had nothing to do remotes/clickers. It was jsut my poor attempt at hjacking this thread:(

[Juggalo]

Poor Burning. :D

[DJTheBaron]

remote, drink, sandwich if between bread, bap if a bun, roll if a baguete

[Rubba Duck]

I remember one of my parents calling a tv remote a telly box, fucking weird now, now she calls it a remote

Honestly, what kinda name is a fucking clicker?? its like pressing the button to a nuclear bomb...

[Karmashock]

old remotes had 3 buttons and clicked when you pressed the button... don't ask me why...

[Juggalo]

the guy who made it had a fetish for clicking noises?

"YES,*click* MORE*click click* MORE*clickclickclickclick* MORE!!! *CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK* ugh, I'm spent! *lights cigarette*"

Dungaree's are an item of clothing made from a denim material (can't remember if it's specifically denim). Basically a pair of jeans that are held up by straps round your shoulders. The straps aren't detachable.

sounds like an aussie word...

[mOle]

i call remote "fjernkontroll"

its norwegian so translated its "remote control"

[Karmashock]

i call remote "fjernkontroll"

its norwegian so translated its "remote control"
isn't that just a norwegian saying 'remote control'... but in a norwegian accent?... Sort of how the spanish translated computer into "computadora"... it's just that "kontroll" is clearly just 'control'... with a k and an extra L... crafty norwegians, that isn't fooling anyone ;P

Though, I'm sure "fjern" is remote... god knows what else it might be... maybe heathen for demonic possession box... jk :)


I like how computers are female by the way... romance languages... :lol:

[Watcher]

Does Neb live with Jeff Foxworthy?

[Justice]

Dungaree? ... try coverall or whatever they're called

cheers, and
-=</|Awesome Party!|\>=-

[NeBuLaDiStOrTiOn]

yes, yes i do live with with jeff. why?

[Juggalo]

:wtf: Calm down Neb... You'll blow a blood vessel and/or lose your cherry to a chair.. again.. some magical way.... Ummm.. yeah. *leaves*

[mOle]

well.. "fjern" is also used to being high... it means being away from something... so if ur high... ur usually somewhere else in your mind... if u get that

[Justice]

LOSE CHERRIES TO A CHAIR

that's kind of pathetic

cheers, and
-=</|Awesome Party!|\>=-

[Karmashock]

so you call it a high control?... high is used in english because the person is 'flying'... not there either... but high also means 'happy'... as low means 'depressed'...

kind of interesting though... too bad I suck at all other languages... half of my family is awful at languages and the other half is awsome at them... one of my cousins speaks like eight different languages... and I have a bunch of counsins that speak chinese of all things... the cousin that knows eight languages translates for business and the cousins that speak chinese work for the airforce...
