Poll: What do you call your USB drive?

[Ghengis John]

I simply call it "The Stick".

I have called it USB on occasion.

Once I think I even called it an "asshole".

(That's a Robo-Cop reference there, mods.)

For me little one, I call him Pip.
Then there is my external hard-drive which I call the 'render farm'.
My lil Pip is good enough for most word docs.
But I work with video content, so lugging a 1Tb HDD isn't that bad of an idea.
Worst thing is, it still won't be big enough for everything.

I just call it a USB usually. When I tell someone to toss me that USB I don't think they are going to remove the port from their computer so I usually don't worry about adding stick to it.

I have never heard the name "nerd stick" before, but from today onwards, that's what I'm calling it. I don't even fucking care what I used to call it before today, it's nerd stick or nothing.

e: how has only one other person picked nerd stick? it's a hilarious name

Memory Stick Although mine is shaped like an Autobot logo, so I mostly call it Optimus.

External Drive.

I have many, some flash, some HDD, so one name really can't cover all.
Anyone else miss the days of the tea coaster? oops, I mean, 3.5" floppy.

 

[gunheads]

'That thing' Because I really cannot be bothered saying USB

 

[Spy_Guy]

"Pocket memory", or "USB stick".

The 1 TB drives are amazing if you can't decide which anime you're going to bring with you, not to mention the fact that you'll never need to think "Drat! I left that file at home."
Also games.

nearly everyone i know and their grandma's call them flash drives, so thats what i grew up with, however i have heard usb and a few others..

I call mine Peanut because it vaguely resembles a peanut. In reality it's a Walkman Bean MP3 but it has a built in USB port thingy so I use it for storage.

Spoiler: Here's a pic. Mines the same colour.

Nerd Stick?

Sounds hilarious when used ironically, but if anyone uses that seriously.....

I mean, what percentage of people hear that, and don't think "Um, are you talking about a dick?"

 

[dalek sec]

I either call it a flash drive, USB drive or screw it up and call it a USP drive (USP is a type of H&K handgun).

Kinda reminds me a little bit of kidney actually.

How big is it exactly?

 

[Braonan]

I'm just curious, and I find it funny that all I hear here is "nerd stick" when everybody has them EXCEPT the uber nerds who actually carry around portable hard drives because apparently a 2-4 GB stick isn't enough for homework so they carry a 1 TB brick

EDIT: USB* - By calling it a "USB" I mean "USB/USB Stick/USB Drive"
any name with USB in it pretty much

I call it all those cept' for nerd stick.

 

[eljawa]

Pen drive

A friend of mine calls his Memory stick the Death Star Plans, because they're not in the main computer.

I fucking lol'd.

 

[DirgeNovak]

Dead. never let me touch a flash memory stick, it will stop working within 24 hours (I've even tried it with an anti-static wrist strap on. No dice).

...closest thing I own now is a PSP... and I let my brother put in the memory.

Are you Cole McGrath?

 

[teutonicman]

I call it my computer's dildo.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Other: I call it USB drive.
