    I think you are both too sensible. I think you should christian it with an appropriate alternative. We also use ''dingadonga''.

    In our house it's the 'zapper.' I think that's pretty standard.

    In our house it's the bloody annoying thing (except for some reason there have to be 3 of them!) that's always left in the middle of the sofa. :mad:

    Err... yes, we have two of them, though one does about 95% of the functions and the other looks after the other 5%. Daft!

    I also have to admit that I don't know much about the 95% one, so when left alone with it, all sorts of strange things happen, though not always what I want. I don't really know what the red button is for, either.:o

    There's worse. Here beside me is a special setup I made for turning videos into DVDs. Somehow, I set it up, and several years ago, I even made some DVDs with it. Now, since we moved, I'm not sure that it's all connected properly, so I keep putting the DVD archiving off. :(

    Poor you! Yes, there's something about not quite being able to see my way forward that makes me keep pushing particular jobs to the back of the queue. :o They're the 'one of these days' ones.

    In our house we call it the remote. Occasionally with an expletive in front of it.
    I think zapper would get confused with my battery operated gnat and fly squatter - one of my favourite household devices, I think it's a man thing. :)

    tennis racket style, or gun style? Tennis racket better for mozzie type bugs, gun better for flies I think. I'm a dab hand with the old fashion type swat for flies ...i sort of distract them with a little dance and then thwack. They rarely get away.:D
