offonchild
/ˈɒf ˈɒn ˌtʃaɪld/nounVerified NewAlso in: Aus-An-Kind (Deutsch) · apaganino (Español) · débrancheur (Français)
The child whose universal answer to every parental tech complaint is "turn it off and on again."
The offonchild is consulted remotely, by voice, mid-crisis, and dispenses the incantation calmly. It works about forty percent of the time, which is enough to sustain the practice. The child has never once been thanked and is always called first.
Etym. — off + on + child — the oracle whose entire scripture is two words.
