What do you call your remote control? I never use the full term but I think I use one of the "normal" nicknames and just say "remote." Like--"where's the remote?"  The Guardian has a story on all of the various terms used. (The Guardian is British so there may be words we aren't familiar with.)

I've definitely heard "clicker" and I have a friend that uses "banger."  "Flipper" is another one I've heard.  What are some of the weird names your family uses to reference the device that always seems to be lost?
