Phrase remote
Text The word "remote," in this podcast, means a remote control, or a small device with many buttons, held in one's hands to operate a television or stereo from a distance, changing channels or the volume: "Where's the remote? I want to turn up the volume." The word "remote" also means distant, or far away from where other people are: "Ashley grew up in a remote part of South Dakota, far from any cities." A "remote possibility" is a low likelihood or probability: "Most scientists think there's a remote possibility we'll be able to stop global warming." Finally, the phrase "remote from (something)" means very different from something: "Your experience growing up in New York City was very remote from Henry's experience, growing up on a potato farm."
