No love for the technicaly correct name USB Flash Drive?

You forgot to add what it's actually called : a usb drive

No, as that would describe any USB drive be it:flash, CD, CD burners, IDE, MP3 based player, 7-1 readers, and a partridge in a pear tree.

I call it a thumb drive or usb keychain mostly. i have mine on my keychain, so.. that kinda influences me. calling it a flash drive reminds me of memory cards+readers.

Yeah, if you want to get technical about it. But usually a CD drive is still called a CD drive, regardless of what connection it uses, so I always use the term 'usb drive' to refer to the flash usb drive.
