How many bytes in a flop?
BigTruckRegularPenis
At couple dozen flaps in a flop and if you at 3 more you get a flip.

A flop is a "FLoating point OPeration" (per second). Roughly, it's a measure of how much math the machine can do.

Why do you people hate fun?

There are 1000 gigabytes in a terabyte or trillion bytes, teraflop refers to overall computer speed
