> [@root](#): > > How about… one Zip or one Zilch? There’s something kind of elegant about calling them Zeroes. It’s probably too generic, but I like it.

Very nice, love the possible Zombie inclusion (sometime Zombies are just referred to as Zeds). So when you tell your friends you’re sending them millions of Zeds, they won’t know how to react until they arrive. 🙂 Everyone heart your favorite enteries above (and below) and we can put the top entries into a poll next week. ---
