My wife and everyone in her family calls it "the box." I usually just say "the remote," but my Dad always called it "the cruise control" which made me giggle.

I call my universal remote "the truth", so when my wife asks to have it, I reply "YOU WANT THE TRUTH? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" No truer words have ever been spoken.
:D

I know of an old Jewish woman who calls it "the kvetcher."

It'll be more amusing to those of you who know a little Yiddish.

I call it "The Clicker."
But I once knew a guy who called it "The Penis." :laugh:

ever since i bought my mx-500, my girlfriend has called it the "nimbus 2000" (harry potter reference)...
now i can't get it out of my head.
i'll think to myself, "where's the nimbus". when i walk into the room i say "hello nimbus!"...
curse her! :)
