I had a colleague who was from South Africa, where the terminology was a
bit different. He had engaged with computers at the point when portable
discs were transitioning from 5.25" to 3.5". 

One time at work he was looking for 3.5" disc, the 5.25" ones having
been totally superseded, but there still needed to be a distinction
made. He approached one of our female colleagues and asked with some
desperation that he needed a "stiffy". 

Stilted silence, then gales of laughter.

Multicultural joys.
