I’m a little younger, and still remember slides and transparencies and all that, and I’ve heard “slide deck” a bunch in recent years, AND it still sounds so alien and wrong to me!

I think calling each page a “slide” sounds better somehow, like “hey Bob can you send me that powerpoint slide with the pie chart?”

Yeah I use the word slide that way. I'm rejecting slide deck as a term. We have to remember veto power when it comes to language.
