It not just the yunguns, either. I'm from just the very end of the generation you describe, and have some memory of the limitations of computers at the time (I remember dialup and not being able to use the phone, having to change the computer to 256 colours in order to play games, things being too big to fit on a floppy disc, etc.) but I cringe every time my dad calls anything wireless "wi-fi", or uses wi-fi as a verb:
The laptop wi-fis to the internet! Sure, I guess... The phone wi-fis to the internet! Um, yeah... The phone wi-fis to the tower to get internet! Wait, what? The phone wi-fis to the tower to make calls! No! The phone wi-fis to my headphones! Ok, warmer, but that's Bluetooth. ThE tElEvIsIoN rEmOtE wI-fIs To ThE tElEvIsIoN!!!1 NO IT DOES NOT!!
