Adding "fast" is similarly fun, it's probably true when you came up with it, probably won't be true in the future anymore.

What do you mean? Fast Ethernet is fast, and it'll stay that way forever! It's in the name! 100 Mbit/s!
Or USB:

- USB 2.0: High-Speed USB

- USB 3.0: Super-Speed USB

The marketing names are often deficient, but at least there's a clear version number attached to it. Microsoft doesn't like version numbers at all.

I do find it funny how Full-Speed USB is 12 Mbit/s.
As is ”simple”.
