if we call 8 bit values "bytes", we should call 64 bit words "chomps"

2 bit - sniff
4 bit - nibble
8 bit - byte
16 bit - munch
32 bit - gobble
64 bit - chomp
bonus: CPUs and other such parts could be nicknamed with these terms
an 8 bit cpu could be a byter
a 16 bit cpu could be a muncher
a 32 bit cpu could be a gobbler
a 64 bit cpu could be a chomper

Tim Ward โญ๐ช๐บ๐ถ #FBPE@delta We always spelt it "nybble".
bert hubert ๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐บ๐ฆ@delta nice! 'dynner' has also been mentioned.

any of those: "word" (depending on CPU)

ljยทrk@delta Soooo ... are you storing your data chomp aligned?
PassengerRemember to save your .png files with gobble-colour so that they support transparency.

@delta need this terminology to become established

Noah Gibbs@delta I've definitely seen "nybble" for 4 bits before...
hacknorris@delta chomp is a byte of bytes? Huh?

3/4 bit - maybe
รsQar๐ป๐ต๐ธ@delta You can go full Imperial System and then:
1 whallof = 19.5 bytes
1 splorch = 437 whalloves
1 berryner = 117 splorches
1 whallof = 19.5 bytes
1 splorch = 437 whalloves
1 berryner = 117 splorches

I prefer 64 bit - a mouth full
becausr it goes well with a word(length)
