Remotion

Being returned to your previous job after being demoted.

Bob: Hey man, that sucks that you got demoted and they're bringing in a new guy to do your old job.

Tom: Eh, it's okay. They couldn't find a better person to replace me, so I ended up getting a remotion.

Remoteitis

A disease that afflicts children and spouses who grab the remote control of a TV set and keep changing channels at incredible speed. Symptoms are completely at variance with rheumatism or arthritis and worsen in the evening and can only be treated by permanently disabling the remote control.

Jack's wife and son have remoteitis which prevents him from seeing any channel properly on TV almost every evening.

narrative-driven short films

A famous remote found Conan visit a historic, Civil War-era baseball league. That piece was one of O'Brien's personal favorites, later remarking, "When I leave this earth, at the funeral, just show this, because this pretty much says who I'm all about."

Within a year, O’Brien began to work out a kind of comedic formula for “Late Night.” In addition to the usual glittering array of guests, the show combined the lewd and wacky (regulars included a masturbating bear and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog) with more elegant, narrative-driven short films (which are called remotes) in which O’Brien left the studio and reported on, say, a historic baseball league or a station in Houston that refused to carry his show at its normal hour. The apotheosis of the “Late Night” remotes centered on the realization in 2006 that O’Brien bears a striking resemblance to the (female) president of Finland. “We took the show to Helsinki for five days,” O’Brien recalled, “where we were embraced like a national treasure.”

remote control remote controller

A universal uninvented remote control device which would enable the user to overpower another users remote control on any given electronic device, when you don't like what actions the remote control holder is doing with their remote control.
I would invent it if i were Chinese and reading this.

1. I didn't want to watch that program he was watching on pay tv so i used my Remote Control Remote Controller.
2. I was sick of watching him do circles with his remote control helicopter so i overpowered him with my remote control remote controller and made some kickass swoops and dives.

Remote Malfunction

A “Remote Malfunction” is when your remote control pad won’t respond to any of your commands using your fingers, then you look at it closely and realize one of the remote buttons is stuck on the pad and you have to unstick it before the remote will work again.

It took Jensen a while to figure out why his remote wouldn’t work. Then he saw he had a “Remote Malfunction”. So he quickly had to unstick the button on his remote to correct the problem.

Remote learning

(noun) An inferior substitute for in-person schooling after it is cancelled, possibly due to a Pandemic or something.

Thanks to Coronavirus, my whole class switched to remote learning. Now every morning I watch my teachers through a gritty, laggy webcam and receive an inferior education, but I still get to pay the same ridiculously high tuition!
