Default What do you call the TV? (or what are some funny names for TV)
Bored today, so here is a silly topic. What do you call the TV when having a conversation?

TV?
Telly?
Boob tube?
Idiot box?
Goggle box?

Am I missing anything?

The television is one of the few devices my wife (and I) haven't named. Some of the devices have obvious names; others not-so-much:
  • Sony Blu-Ray player = Ray
  • (new) Sony Home Theater System = Doc
  • (old) Samsung Home Theater System = Sammy
  • (new) TiVo DVR = ViTo
  • (old) Philips DVR = Phil
  • Roomba = Ella (as in Cinderella, because we put her in a room, close her in, and force her to clean)
  • Garbage Disposal = Georgina

Most of the time, "TV", unless I'm talking to my girlfriend in the other room.
