'USB-stick' is indeed the most common term in our country, but that doesn't mean it's the right term. It's not very descriptive, as any regular stick in the wild you'd tape a USB connector to would qualify as a 'USB-stick'. At least 'flash drive' refers to the flash technology (non-volatile memory).

Because that would be a misuse of a specific technical term. Like calling the display "the computer" or calling the system unit "the hard drive".
If you do these things then "dongle" is obviously the right word for you.

Officially it's called a USB flash drive.

Common names include "Memory stick", "Memory Card", "Flash Stick", "Key Drive", "Pen Drive", "Thumb Drive", "Jump Drive", or simply "USB"

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive

It's a doofer
>>
>>51896324
Flash drive is the most appropriate name, because it's the perfect description.

Calling it a "USB" is bizarre - would you call a mouse or keyboard a "USB"?
