I don't know what HD is, but my teacher said I have 80 of them.

It works if the way you say "eighty" has the T softened, so you would sound like you're saying the letters "A D".

So 80 HD becomes ADHD.

It took me a moment too, since any pun based on diction assumes that some words and sounds have smooshed together in the audience as much as it has to the speaker. And the T in eighty still firmly sounds like a T to me if I say it, and it might for you too.

It's what you use when storage capacity is more important than speed.

I saw it coming.

Your teacher probably said you have 80 of something that's high definition.
