Poll: What do you call your USB drive?

[Irony's Acolyte]

USB drive, memory stick, flash drive, whatever.

On a related note my external hard drive is called "The Library". It holds many things.

 

[Something Amyss]

Oh, sometimes call USBs pen drives. Don't even know where I got that one from, since everyone looks at me weird.

No, that's what I call them too. It's fairly common in Sheffield, at least in my course.

I'm not in the UK.

 

[Syphous]

I call them flash drives, but I named my 360 flash drive "Flashy D"

 

[oden636]

Its a USB. on a side note mines called jeffory. and i have several versions of jeffory.

 

[rda_Highlander]

Daamn, am I the only one who wants to use these when referring to his pingas?
"I want to stick my Nerd stick in you, baby."

 

[Digikid]

I call them exactly what they are....Flash Drives.

 

[Fraught]

I just call it "stick".

In my native tongue, of course.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

I call mine bob, Bob likes to delete my coursework from himself to spite me ¬_¬

Nah i usually call them flash drives or memory sticks.

 

[Owyn_Merrilin]

Like many other people in this thread, I call mine a jump drive. I'm surprised that, along with pen drive, wasn't an option -- they're both pretty common depending on where you live.

 

[holy_secret]

Well, as a Swede, I call it "USB-Minne". It means = USB-Memory.

 

[Hazz_11]

I call mine fred he severs me well, also and 2-4GB isnt enough I need around 10GB personally

 

[Ren3004]

Jimmy Jones A pen drive. Pretty much everyone around me calls it that.

 

[Double A]

I usually call mine "lost," but I call other ones thumb drives or memory sticks. On the Internet I just use USB.

 

[bam13302]

flash drive or thumb drive
never heard of 'nerd stick'
i usually use a portable hdd, not because it has more storage, but because its harder to loose

 

[vrbtny]

This is my flash drive.

I call it the Slave 1.

You like Star Trek then, huh?

[small]heheheh[/small]

 

[keideki]

I heard them called lipstick drives before.. only by a couple of older ladies though.

 

[Rewdalf]

Thing is, at our school, if you're carrying around a portable harddrive, you're not a nerd. It implies that you're too cool for school, and therefore have to download your games onto a harddrive to play them at school.
I have a 160g harddrive which I constantly use at school to play Starcraft, Simcity, and other low-tech games (because of the fossils we have in our "computer lab").
Although I'm not one of those people who don't manage their grades and social life... They're the real nerds.

 

[Valkaris]

I call my USB GLaDOS

 

[Something Amyss]

Oh, so you're not, my mistake! Well in that case it probably varies by region but 'pendrive' is fairly usual in the UK.

I may have picked it up from "foreign" media at some point, so you may still not be wrong. It's just taht in the US, I don't see it called a "pen drive" often.

 

[meece]

Mine are all named and like my HDs named after mythical creatures.

Except the one with all my drivers n' crap on it which is called RESSURECTOR because a) I couldn't be bothered to look up how to spell it and b) I didn't have a computer to spell check on when I was assembling the stuff for it.
