Do other people not use the word flipper for the TV remote control? Like, flip the channel?

When I was young "clicker" was common because the tech was so basic that they made a click sound. But I never heard "flipper".

My dad used to call it a flipper. He's dead now.

In the upper Midwest a lot of people use the term "clicker" instead. Similar enough idea
