(noun) An inferior substitute for in-person schooling after it is cancelled, possibly due to a Pandemic or something.

A “Remote Malfunction” is when your remote control pad won’t respond to any of your commands using your fingers, then you look at it closely and realize one of the remote buttons is stuck on the pad and you have to unstick it before the remote will work again.
