Flashcard or Flashcart?

As a guy who sleeps over a box of old SNES carts, I'd love to call my homebrew devices for the DS a Flash Cart.
However:
Have any of you guys actually stopped and read the product names? I'm using a SuperCARD DS One, and an AceKARD. The actual products themselves are identifying themselves at cards, so it seems a little weird to have a snobbish, "They've always been call carts and so it shall always remain that way." attitude.

Wow I always called them FlashCard >.> now that i think about it arent Flashcards used for studying?
I totally agree with you, when people see my playing my ds they're like is that an R4. then im like not its an supercard- then like the dumb people they are, when they ask me to if the can my Supercard they still refer to it as an R4.
Grr . That really ticks me if - All they seem to know is r4

Let them think it's an R4, a little misinformation never hurt anyone, right?
I call them flashcarts, because they've always been cartridges, despite what their names are. I don't suppose anyone remembers when Nintendo used to call their cartridges "Game Paks"? It's all just re-branding cartridges.

Hey, if people are calling it an R4, at least they have an idea of what you're using. I figure its like using the brand name Kleenex instead of the generic Tissue.
Generically calling a flashcart an R4 doesn't bother me as much as when someone is using "a bluetooth" with their phone. THATS the one that irks me.

Flashcard for me, use to use flashcart, but then i used to get a load of ppl asking me what that is.
Slot-1 devices are designed after memory cards and the officially licensed variant is called a game card, so I use Flashcard. On the other hand, the classic cartridge, which Nintendo refer to as Game Pak, are Flashcarts in their re-writable or externally-loading variety. As a generic term referring to both devices, Flashcart is preferrable due to a DS Game Card being more similar to a traditional game cartridge than a Game Pak is to a memory card.
