Ok, I KNOW I am going to be slapped by a bunch of people here, but....
I often refer to a /24 (anywhere in the space) as a "class C". I also
call the thingie on my digital watch an LCD display, the thing that
stops breaks from locking the ABS system and the number I type into
the ATM machine my PIN number. Oh yeah, my DLT tape drive is
connected to a SCSCI interface.
Yup, all of the above are technically incorrect (ok, most of them are
just redundant), but I do it anyway, and I am going to carry on doing
it, so there!
