The TV thing

this difinition is commanly used when the name of the television remote suddenly seems to escape your mind. Mostly used by forgetful, idiotic, coach potatoes which are to lazy to get up and reach for the remote or are to unpatient to wait until the items actually name returns to them. This is usually the last resort of what someone would and could ever call their TV remotes.

coach potato blob boy: MUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where's the....umm....the.....you know...the, it has buttons.

coach potatoes mother: what do you want now?

coach potato blob boy: where's the...the TV thing??
