The term "chad" was originally used as a mass noun, similar to "sand": "chad" meant "a pile of paper debris", and the individual paper piece might be called "a piece of chad". Nowadays, however, the word seems to be used in the singular, thus "a chad", "hanging chads" and so on.

[edit] Etymology The origin of the term chad is uncertain. (It has been seen in Teletype Corp. parts catalogs for tape punch units that were first invented in the 1920s. The metal tube that collects the chad is called the "chad chute", and they collect in a "chad box"). The term chad predates the Chadless punch which makes a U-shaped hole rather than punching it out entirely. It is more likely from the Scottish name for river gravel, chad, or the British slang for louse, chat. Look up origin in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

[edit] Partially-punched chads When a chad is not fully detached from the ballot it is described by various terms corresponding to the level of indentation. The following terms generally apply when describing a four-cornered chad: - Hanging chads are attached to the ballot at only one corner.
- Swinging chads are attached to the ballot at two corners.
- Tri-chads are attached to the ballot at three corners.
- Pregnant or dimpled chads are attached to the ballot at all four corners, but bear an indentation indicating the voter may have intended to mark the ballot. (Sometimes pregnant is used to indicate a greater mark than dimpled.)
