What's your vote? Is it a remote, a clicker, or something else? Watch the video below to hear what Erin Paine, Lawson Bates, Kelly Bates, Jackson Bates, Gil Bates, and Trace Bates say it's called.
I don't think it's a southern thing. I was raised in PA and my dad says clicker and everyone else in my family says remote. And no he isn't from the south. :-)
I call it a remote. It's interesting to learn "sayings from different countries, (provinces/states) and communities. I've been reading and watching a lot from the southern states and laughed when I was proofreading an email, when I was saying youall (although I know that's not the way it's spelled). Canadians get teased about ending a comment with "eh".
It's not a requirement to take part in this conversation. You can always wait until a topic comes up that interests you. I'm not being mean. Just offering a simple suggestion. Be blessed!
I've heard the device called a clicker, but my family has always called it a remote ... could that be a New England thing? Like the buggy-shopping cart debate? (We say shopping cart or just cart.) 😊😊😊
When we lived in CA it was the remote. Here in AZ it has become the "disappearing thing" because it seems to always get lost. But I just remembered when I was a little girl my dad called it a clicky.

ReplyDeleteIsn't there something else to post? These comparisons are silly.
