remoteshrine
/rɪˈməʊt ˌʃraɪn/nounVerified NewAlso in: Fernbedienungsaltar (Deutsch) · mandaltar (Español) · commandautel (Français)
The table surface where every remote control gathers, none labeled, two of them mysteries.
The remoteshrine hosts remotes for devices present, devices gone, and one remote that controls something no one has identified in years. Offerings accumulate: a coaster, a dead battery, a seven-year-old cinema stub. The correct remote is always the one under the cushion, and the shrine is consulted only after the cushion has failed.
Etym. — remote + shrine — the altar of controllers, tended and unexplained.
Rel. — keybowltheology · blinkbargain
