It's actually hemidemisemiquavers.

But my Australian customers explicly told me they use hdsqs.

And 1/128th notes are semihemidemisemiquavers 

However personally I prefer the US terms in that area.

But not in "measure" for "bar". In the UK, measure has a broader term in
dancing, and it seems reasonable that barlines should divide the music
into bars, not measures :-)
