Thanks to simbosan for the idea

Everyone where I work calls and says their hard drive is broken.The monitor is the computer and the computer is the hard drive. As for the mechanic analogy. If someone came in to the garage and called the whole car "the engine" and the mirrors as "the windows" you'd think they were a moron. Anyone using a computer should know its called a computer.

Yes, you may think they were a moron if they referred to the mirrors as windows, but your examples aren't quite the equivalent of a PC user calling something a screen when a helpdesk worker prefers the term monitor.

Yes! "Hard drive".That's another one that makes me want to pull my own eyes out.
