The term, time-sharing, came out, as another poster put it, when slices 
of time were purchased from large main frame boxes.

Unix brought about the term multiprocessing.

Windows brought about the terms: reboot, crash, locked up, going postal.

Well I might be wrong about that last Windows term...
