A flickeboo, (noun) is the battery powered, hand held portable transmitter, (either using light or radio waves) that remotely controls a
television or multimedia device. The reference to the word
flick is the action of using the flickeboo to randomly or purposefully flick through the various media channels or choices on the remote media system.
Technically the flickeboo is also know as a remote control but as that
name does not really reflect the action caused by it, flickeboo more aptly describes this quick indecisive channel changing action.
OK WHO
forgot to change the batteries in the flickeboo again???
Did you stuff the flickeboo into the
chesterfield again?
Give me that flickeboo, it's my turn to
watch eh.
