Best Answer

In South Africa, "a stiffy" is a 3.5" computer disk. You know, the smaller ones with the hard case, as opposed to "a floppy" - the 5.25" big thin ones that bend. In the UK, 'a stiffy' is slang for an, um, erection. It leads to all sorts of embarassing confusion when South African IT people working in London ask their clients if they have a stiffy. Of course, these diskettes are becoming redundant, so there won't be this confusion with 'flash' drives. Oh wait...
