You were Upper Middle Class in your neighborhood.
I don’t know about that… AMANDA!To think they now make TVs that only can be controlled by remotes.

We had a classy name befitting the Upper Middle-Class status: a "clicker."I still call a TV remote a "KaChunker" which resembles the noise the TV made while changing channels. When I went to buy my first TV after buying a home I couldn't understand why someone needed some device to change the TV channel without getting up. We had longer attention spans in those days.
Yep, that's what we called it also. "Hey, hand me the 'clicker'." Was what we said to each other because not only was it annoying to get up to change the channel, but also to get the remote in the first place.We had a classy name befitting the Upper Middle-Class status: a "clicker."

Same thing when I go to the doctor. "Well, my knee had been killing me for the last few months but it seems fine today?"The biggest problem was that the TV didn't "act-up" when the TV repairman was there.
