I don't consider myself a world travel(l)er by any means but I have lived in two different states throughout my lifetime and visited a couple of different countries. The one thing that I have found in common among all people is their uncommon names for the remote control. These differences in title don't necessarily signify a certain region. In fact, differences in remote control speech can differ as close as next door. Where you might refer to the remote control as the "clicker" your best friend might call it the "box". Whether you accept these differences or simply find them frightening you cannot deny their existence. I believe that we should embrace this plethora of names as well as make changes in our choice of words often. I will leave you with a few options in case you feel like straying from the frequently taken path. If you have other suggestions please leave them in a comment.
1. remote
2. clicker
3. box
4. telecommand
5. 'mote
6. controller
