I have a Cruzer mobile FLASH DRIVE... I call it Tom Get it Tom Cruzer like Tom Cruize.. HAHAHAHAHAHahaha... Shut up it's funny
My friend called it a Universal Serial Bus for the first year or so. I would look at him and say with my face "You nerd!"
I myself just call it a USB.

"Flash Drive"
It's what most people 'round here refer to them as, thus I use those words myself.

Flash drives are called flash drives just like you said, but that's because it's what is easy to use. RAM comes in DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 which basically means "out dated", "just became outdated" and "it's what we have now" in terms of transfer speeds, respectively.
RAM comes in a bajillion types, the main distinctions being SRAM and DRAM. S means static so it behaves like flash or more specifically NAND, while D means dynamic which means it is volatile 'cos it has capacitors which are like "WE NEED ELECTRICITY ALL THE TIME TO DO ANYTHING!""
Of course you're correct, but Flash memory is the generic term used for non volatile RAM these days, hence those non volatile cards you stick in a camera for example are refered to as a flash card often, same as a usb memory stick for a PC.
I'll call it a "static random access memory module with a universal serial bus adapter built in" if you like.
Or I'll keep calling it Super slut drive.

I don't own one because my computer completely crashed after 'sticking my stick' into my schools PCs, then into my computer, flooding it with viros. All my teacher yell at me for it, I think it's a fair excuse not to use/own one. I just email myself my work.
USB stick, maybe a memory stick. Everyone I know calls it that as well, except for a few lecturers who have said thumb drive before.
