1) the remote control
and
2) something you dont know/can't think of the name of?
got this idea from.....um.....lets just say a.n. other forum, where the OP was trying to find out what something was, and amongst all the helpful answers people were throwing in their own ideas.
in out house the remote is called 'the buttons'
as in 'oi wheres the buttons now......try down the back of the settee'
and if we dont know the name of something its a thingymajiggy wotsit, or a doodah
Ours is the tv "doofer" as opposed to the Wii doofer, the DVD doofer, the kitchen doofer (which could be the kettle, mixer, cooker, cooking utensil of any description, grilling thingy etc) or the bedroom doofer :twisted:
We have many doofers cool

Because that is my sons nickname and you can guarantee that the remote is where ever he is, unless he has hidden it in the dogs bed/behind the couch/under the cushions/in the clutter box/in his PE/swim bag

pmsl @ 'rollmop' :giggle:
ummm plural of anything in the wrong place is 'bits', it just so happens that is what female genitals are called too rolleyes ( I was on the toilet when my 3 year old son walked in and said 'oh! MUM ! where is your willy?', being caught short in two ways kinda threw me off my 'perfect mum' line. I replied (flustered) 'ummm mummy's don't have willies son, mummy's have.... mmmmm (not vagina, too medical, cunt.. umm he won't be able to use that in public. Pussy... nah it aint an animal. foofoo.. nope, we are modern women. mmmmm oh goodness me.. why didn't I plan this) Bits!'
the remote control things.. are 'splendid junior how do I use these things again?' ( I don't really watch TV and he always puts the things on the coffee table as he is well trained)
the remote

Ah! Now you see, we went to the other end of the phrase so when our 6 year old is delving feverishly into his pants we tell him to leave his "pieces" alone...
I'd quite like to stick our pieces with Splendid's bits and see what would happen.
As for the remote, it is called "the remote", although we do differentiate between the "Sky" - even though it is now cable, and "Tv" and "Dvd". Yes imagination runs riot in our house...
For things we cannot remember the name of... Thingummydoodah, oojamaflip, Doodah, Wotsit or Bernard (if it's a person). Hence if I ever went to a social and met folk, 95% of you would be Bernard.
in our house its the pressit and if we can't remember the name of something its the whatjamacallit or thingymebob. lol
Yup we have a remote (well tv remote, dvd remote, wii-mote etc) and if I can't remember the name for something it's erm, you-know, the thingy, the whatsit and so on until whoever I'm talking to guesses or (more likely) drops off or leaves the room. I have a terrible short-term memory so it happens a lot redface
