I'm from the deep south and the first time I asked my fiance to pass me the "TV changer" I got roasted, but I've never called it anything else 😅

[@tinytimme]

I always wondered what happened to remote technology.....used to be able to be upstairs and change tv downstairs....now I gotta be two feet away and pointing right at it

[@LC-le9ew]

And there’s always a dog or a coffee table in the path of the receiver at my house. 😂

[@tommj4365]

Trying to conserve batteries, but also the older remotes were a hazard in some ways and legislation has been enforced to reduce risk

[@Laureo262]

I've called the remote the "bodger" before just started doing it for no reason

[@urbanshadow777]

"The buttons" as my sister in law refers to it.

[@tiacho2893]

Best friend's family used "bodger". They can't remember how it started.

[@Banidil]

We call the remote the "TV box" and I dont know why lol.

[@diveanddine]

my dad still to this day calls the TV remote "commander" which is the weirdest stupidest thing ever

[@GingerHoliday]

I commented the same thing! We all call it that too, I think my dad got a tv in the 80s that said commander in the instructions so he’s called it that ever since.

[@mahliabelonn6357]

It is Soft Drink here in Oz!! The others in order were: Remote; Lollypop; Fireflies; Salad Roll; Sneakers or Sandshoes; Pancakes; and Bubbler.

now i'm gonna have owl city stuck in my head all day.

[@44totherescue]

Apparently, when I was a kid I called poptarts (which I still love to this day) "remotes" ... so for me, today's show(s) went full-circle :)

[@wendyriley6761]

When I was growing up we called them topsiders. I was raised in Las Vegas and I really don't know if it was from the west or not. Love the show it makes me happy.

[@daytonagk]

I remember hard wired "remote controls". It literally had a 10' wire that connected to the tv.

[@carnuatus]

At my house we call the remote "the box." Also Northeastern and fireflies predominates but lightning bugs is more of a phrase kids use.

[@TieDyedEyes]

As soon as they said grinder I starting signing lunch lady land in my head and when Rhett brought it up I nearly shed a tear. 😂

[@thorsluter7835]

I moved to Rhode Island when I was sixteen, the first day of school someone said something about the bubbler(bubblah, in RI speak) and I was completely befuddled. They also call milkshakes "cabinets".

[@Scrunklyy]

My grandpa used to call the refrigerator an “ice box” so now ive picked that up and almost never use refrigerator or fridge

[@namegirl12]

i remember visiting boston and hearing a teacher yell at a kid to "get away from the bubbler" at an aquarium. my mind was blown lol

[@glasshalffull8625]

Also in Boston a soda is a “tonic”, a trash can is an “ash can” and a rubber band is an “elastic.”

[@jazminsuazo1176]

@@glasshalffull8625 uhh no we don't..the only correct one is elastic

[@glasshalffull8625]

@@jazminsuazo1176 You’re probably too young to recall “tonic.” Try asking some older Bostonians.

[@jazminsuazo1176]

@@glasshalffull8625 based on the other comments that's only the older generation, most people say soda

[@brianamcfadden-kimball9296]

I live in Maine and most people I know call a remote a remote. I’ve not heard “Clicker” very often.

[@SurlyHannah]

We called the channel flipper the "controller" or "con" for short, but this could be just my family specifically, idk

[@uhohhotdog]

My parents called the remote a channel changer when I was a kid. Now they say remote. Technically my dad calls it a bebebebbebeb because he has dementia and can’t talk

[@ttaylor3294]

HAVE THEY REALLY NEVER HEARD BUBBLER BEFORE!!! They’re reactions are hilarious😂

[@melaniegerskup7285]

Pop is a Canadian thing I think! also in Canada suckers' are the flat ones lollipops are the more 3D ones

[@lj_bryson]

Most countries call it pop i think

[@kelseyravetto851]

A remote has always been a “clicker” in my house. I didn’t know that was not a universal thing until I went to college.

[@jasonclark8921]

GOOD MYTHICAL MORNING FROM THE GREAT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA 👍

[@justaface000]

Here in Michigan we use Grinder both for the app and the food. All about context

[@jenniferwentland1736]

I definitely remember the slider channel selector for the first cable system, but does anyone recall how originally we had to “switch” the tv from channel A to channel B to watch local stations or “cable” stations? It was such a pain.

[@davemcbroom695]

Lol in Iowa we call it soda pop.

[@gordogordito87]

Better option then just pop

[@Ratt1956]

We called them Gym Shoes. Because the only time you wore them was in gym.

[@tylermallory2504]

I sometimes call them lawn shoes as I'm old enough I ain't in a gym anymore I only wear them when doing yard work
