power point
Digital slide deck
Power point has two main meanings depending on where you are.
In British and Australian English, a power point is an electrical outlet—a socket in the wall where you plug things in: There's a power point behind the sofa.
In global usage, PowerPoint (typically capitalized as one word) refers to Microsoft's presentation software, and by extension any slideshow presentation: She's putting together a power point for the meeting.
The software sense has become so dominant that power point now often means any digital slide deck, regardless of the program used.
