When used negatively, as in "not remotely," the word can mean not at all or not in any way: "They were not remotely interested in our proposal." Or, "Why does he keep telling those stupid jokes? They're not remotely funny." Sometimes the word "remotely" means slightly or only a little bit: "That smell is remotely familiar, but I can't quite figure out what it is." Finally, a "remote control" is the small device that allows one to change the channel and control the volume on a TV without being physically attached to the TV: "I want to change the channel. Who has the remote control?"
