What will be the nickname for terabyte? Meg and Gig are well established, but Ter sounds weird and TB is tuberculosis. Maybe, like kilobyte, there will never be a good nickname for terabyte.

PS - It's going to become more of an issue in the next couple of years.
PPS - Bigger hard drives are already past the terabyte barrier.

Maybe it'll just end up being Tera, tomorrow I'm gonna download 4 Teras
Tera sounds feasible, but it's probably not something you should say at the airport.
I'll gonna call 'em "Tibs."
"Tibs" might risk confusion with "Tebs" for "Tebibyte", the slightly awkward yet official name for 1024^4 bytes, as opposed to Terabyte for 1000^4 bytes.
