Nobody else called it the "sixty eight thousand and twenty" ? :lol:

Only kidding. I've always called them "sixty eight oh eight/ten/twelve/twenty/thirty/forty/sixty", except for the 68000 which is just the "sixty eight thousand". Generally just shortened to "oh twenty" when in the company of others that are familiar.

Oddly enough, I've always called the old x86 parts "oh/one/two/three/four eight six". Never "eighty oh eighty six".
