Flicker**********

Ok so started riding consistantly over a month ago and have only had one car (teenagers of course) honk their horn at me for no reason and yesterday while doing a 50+ ride between Jaffery and Peterborough NH had a kid in a car (full of teenagers) yell out flicker. Now my 33 year old self must not be hip to this new fandangled lingo these whippersnappers are using so I was wondering if anyone else knew what a flicker is.

in the meantime, on the tvforums.com

ok so started packing and moving my stuff to a new place over a month ago and had one biker (old guy of course) drive over my teli's flicker that somehow fell out on the road and i went back to pick it up while doing a 50+ drive from jaffery and peterborough nh. Now my 18 year old self must not be educated to this old fandangled customs these geezers are doing so i was wondering if anyone else knew why he flipped me off completely on top of trashing my flicker.

Flicker, huh? Maybe that's an east coast thing. Or maybe I really AM getting old

I've never heard the remote called the flicker either. It was always the clicker.

Probably a mistake. It shows them that you noticed.
