A big red button (BRB), sometimes called a big red switch (BRS), is a real or fictional button with ... Firing or detonating a weapon, typically a nuclear device. :)

Its one of those buttons that does everything, no matter where you are you just stick it on the wall and press it and amazing things happen, like waiters turn up, taxies arrive, your mail gets delivered to your table etc., I must get me one before someone presses it to get the men in white coats to turn up and take me away!!!

I will go with Hank. We all need one of these.....lol

No to all those crazy ideas.

The photo would be the size of it, so maybe a bit bigger than what you are thinking.
Hint:
Pushing the red button will do nothing especially ejecting family members  :D

Yes you could take it apart but in normal use you would not.
What you see is the 'whole' as so to speak.

The red button does nothing whatsoever.

Indoor or out door?  Both, but would probably be used more out door.
Something you would not use regularly only on certain occasions.

I knew this one would have you guys and it is so obvious once you know :)
