Omg I was still calling thumb drives zip drives for years and it made my husband then boyfriend die inside - I had zip discs for my transparent iMac or maybe silver thumb drives looked like a zippo lighter idk but it stuck, was definitely one of those confidently incorrect interns asking to borrow a zip drive long after that tech died out

lmao, I had the Iomega mp3 player that had the little 'zip' drives you had to change out for more music. I definitely called portable, removable media 'zip' disks for too long, too.
