I think BIOS has just morphed into meaning the firmware interface, nobody calls it UEFI. Everyone does indeed just say BIOS, which is okay. You can be more specific when it matters, which is basically never in the mass market.

    Like asking for a bandaid. Everyone knows what you mean, and asking for one and getting a generic bandage isn't going to matter.

    In America. Bandaid is not a word outside there, what is it? A brand name?

    Yet it's named in such a way, people maybe would be able to guess what it is

    Yet if you guessed bandage, that’s not an actual bandage is it? From the other comments, I’ve learned it’s a ‘plaster’ or adhesive dressing.
