A request from an onlooker to use a computer or entertainment system to achieve
something the requester wants. The word first was coined as a shorthand term to request
fast-forwarding through commercials or other unwanted video on a TiVo, when the holder of the remote control had either disengaged in the program on the
television or merely forgot they were watching a recording. (The TiVo system gives "clicky" sounds when the fast forward button is pressed, and it's usually pressed two or more times to quickly zoom past commercial breaks.)
1) "
Hey, it's the
toe-nail fungus ad again; clicky-clicky. Come on, you've got the remote and this isn'
t live TV-- clicky-clicky!!"
2) " I was trying to clicky-clicky with the website to order tickets but the site was overloaded and my transaction failed; we'll have to pay a scalper for tickets."
