central processing unit

it's an abbreviation for 'cpuomter'

It's cause the towers were so big back then. They were absolute units.

It’s weird how that still persists when it comes to things like “CPU holders”, as in the thing that lets you attach a tower to the underside of a desk. I was baffled to see that term still used when I bought one years ago lmao

computer puting unit

ComPUter

I still see this in the wilds of FB Marketplace occasionally.

Oh that was just my Churro Placement Unit.

I can't figure out how 'wallpaper' came to be called 'screen saver'. Across generations and sometimes even savvy. Screen savers basically don't even exist anymore and I still hear this said.
