My mother still calls her desktop the CPU. Infact you could make this chart with everything inside the computer called CPU except for the ram and the hard drive and your pretty much there.

Edit: I was upgrading her graphics card and she asked "Is the CPU going to work?" The first thing I said was "what's wrong with the computer. Does it still turn on?"

My computer science textbook in school called the entire tower as the CPU.

I guess it is the central processing unit!
