Wish we could pick more than one option, as I use most of these terms. "Pin" is probably my most used, but I use table quite a bit as well.

Quoted from Darcy:Where is the voting option of Pinny! Which I never use BTW.
Yeah, in that famous pinball-book, the italian author calls 'em pinnys...and he makes it sound like a common term for them. Only place I've seen that until now.

Quoted from mrm_4:A couple of kids in league say tables and every time i hear it i want to just pack up shop and shut down the tourney, but i just grind my teeth and smile and say "yeah its a pretty sweet pin isnt it?"
Quoted from dgpinball:I cringe everytime someone refers to them as tables, you eat on a table, not on a pinball machine!! Probably blame it on the line from Pinball Wizard, but just because it's in there, doesn't make it right!!
Oh I use "tables" big time. Probably comes from playing Pinball Arcade where they would release "Table Packs" of new pins. I like the term, and in fact I often use my pins as actual tables/shelves all the time, so it works on that level too! But I use many terms interchangeably.
