    Bug.

    Most commonly I hear "deck", though that seems to be an Americanism: English people just call them "slides". But then, I tend to avoid people who produce PP presentations if at all possible

            A "Powerpoint"

            People talk about decks at my current gig, makes me feel like I'm on the Starship Enterprise

              Same for me.

              Loads of people I work with now or in the past call them Decks, I agree it's pretty daft.

              I can just about cope with "Pack", but I do have to restrain myself from brutally slaughtering them.
              I've worked with a few people that are genuinely talented at putting together presentations, they've all just called them slides, no fan of Powerpoint myself.

                  Presentation, or show for short.

                  Back in the good old days, a pack was a multi-platter removable disk.

                  I'm sure we called something a deck as well but I can't remember what. Cards were before my time so I don't think it was that.

                    Whatever the client calls them. Some of my old clients called them decks others, slides.

                    Who cares, really?
                    I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!
