It's only ever been the remote for me. I've never heard it called a clicker.

Remote, but I have called it the clicker before. I think "the stick" is another common one in our family.

Maybe it's not just the Canadians but you young folk that haven't heard "clicker." I remember the 70s TV that was in my parents' room as a kid. It was a clicker. It only had two buttons that tilted see-saw like; one was for channel and the other for volume. Not even a power button that I can recall. $\:D/$

I call it the "remote" or "remote control." But my parents sometimes call it the "clicker."

What do you call...

What do you called the device that is used with a television?
