In computing, it also gave us the mip, as in "a one-mip workstation".

MIPS came from millions of instructions per second, so a mip would only be "millions of instructions per".

In the early 1980s, "a one-mip workstation" was a very expensive thing you bought from Sun ;-)

Good point. I've also seen people talk about a singular megaflop.

Good point ;-)
