Fighting the good fight

I’ve decided to start the “Coalition for the abolition of the terms: jump drive, pen drive, thumb drive and all other variants when referring to a USB Flash Drive.” Those other terms really bug me and they need to go away as soon as possible. Seriously, what the hell is a “jump drive”? Are you jumping on it? Is it jumping on you? Are you storing one gigabyte worth of jumps on it? By inserting it into your anus, does it give you the ability to actually perform a “Jump Drive?” I do not even care if “jump drive” is someone’s brand name or registered trademark for their particular type of USB Flash Drive, it’s silly, stupid and not trendy or cool in the slightest. In closing, I recommend that you publicly humiliate anyone who uses any of the now abolished terms–bonus points if you get this on video. After the public humiliation, kindly remind them that they are in fact referring to a USB Flash Drive, as it is a, “flash memory storage device, integrated with a universal serial bus connector.” Then, you may give them permission to publicly humiliate anyone else who commits what we shall now refer to as “the great sin”, and thus, this movement shall spread like wildfire, because as we all know, everyone likes to publicly humiliate the ignorant.

    I call them jump drives. I inserted it in someone’s anus before and he jumped. High.

    So you’ll join the coalition then? I think we need a website, forum, secret handshake and member’s card.
