Ditto. Sometimes I call the 45s - 45ers. I do not mind if anyone here starts calling their 45s - 45ers. It is not as if I have copywrites on it. So, please go about your business and do not worry about a lawsuit.45 - plate
25 - quarter
10 - dime
5 - nickel
2.5 - sliver

I think of them as plates, but I workout alone, so I don't really say much out loud anyway.

I've always referred to them as "plates" or "wheels", but when I used to work out at a local gym rather than at home there was this one guy who used to call them "colts". I could never figure out WTF he was talking about (and half wondered if maybe he'd dropped one on his head at one point), so I asked him what he was referencing with that one day. He said "Colt 45's! Get it!?" and I said..."Like the gun?". "No," he replied. "Like the beer!" We didn't talk much after that.

I call them all kinds of nasty things at the end of my workouts....none of which can be repeated here
The Socialist Party candidate for President of the US, Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech: "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
