I don't remember ours being called anything but "the television(in French) and TV (in English)" - well, exept for a brief period in 1976 when we got our very first colour television and it switched to being called "the colour T.V."
In the same thread vein...we used to call our record player a "pick-up" because you could close the lid and cart it around (the first boom box)
Oddly, the term was used for all record players even those big furniture deals. Oh and the term was used by French people (we used to have a lot of Anglo terms mixed into our everyday speech)
personal memory...our first pick-up naturally coincided with our very first record..."The lion sleeps tonight."
We kids played it over and over. Imagine the "Wheeeeee deeee deee deee deee wum wum away" ten or twelve times in a row. I'm surprised my mom didn't destroy the thing.
