Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak bits makes sense to shorten because it both sounds good, and also that is the most common unit you would use (second most common being natural units or nats)
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak bit is just a shortening of binary unit, same as trit, but trit just sounds weird
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 and Byte/Double/Word/etc. were all just conventions to play off of bit
