You're right. To be consistent with bytes we should call it a snack.

Henceforth, it follows that a doublesnack is called a lunch. And a quadruplesnack a fourthmeal.

  • There's only one right answer:

    Nybble - 4 bits

    Byte - 8 bits

    Snyack - 16 bits

    Lyunch - 32 bits

    Dynner - 64 bits

    • In the spirit of redefining the kilobyte, we should define byte as having a nice, metric 10 bits. An 8 bit thing is obviously a bibyte. Then power of 2 multiples of them can include kibibibytes, mebibibytes, gibibibytes, and so on for clarity.

    • And what about elevensies?

      (Ok,. I guess there's a difference between bits and hob-bits)
