What Does It Mean?
Radio
/RAY-dee-oh/
noun / adjective
The transmission of signals through electromagnetic waves, which sounds impressively scientific until you realize it's the same technology that delivers both NASA telemetry and your neighbor's terrible taste in music. In the RC context: the invisible leash between a person and the expensive thing they're about to crash.
Usage: "What frequency is your radio?" "2.4 GHz." "And the range?" "Further than my skill level, which is the real limiting factor."
Control
/kuhn-TROHL/
noun
The ability to direct something's behavior, or in the RC hobby, the polite fiction that you are directing the vehicle's behavior rather than merely suggesting a direction while gravity and physics make the actual decisions. Control is aspirational. What RC enthusiasts actually have is "influence with consequences."
Usage: "I have full control." [vehicle immediately flips into a pond] "I had full control."
Toys
/toyz/
noun, plural
Objects designed for play and amusement. In the RC hobby: objects designed for play and amusement that cost $800 and require a engineering degree to maintain, but are still called "toys" by spouses who don't understand why the garage looks like a NASA workshop. The word "toy" is technically accurate and simultaneously the most insulting thing you can call a 1:8 scale competition-grade short course truck.
Usage: "Nice toy." "It's not a toy, it's a hobby-grade vehicle." "It has a remote control." "It has a 2.4GHz FHSS transmitter." "...It's a toy with a fancy remote."
