What did the people who invented them refer to them as?
Clipazines.
This got shortened to just “clip” hence why people like WW2 veterans used the term. Then later on with the birth of the Internet forums people needed one more little thing to divide people and reinforce their tribalistic egos so the term “magazine” was invented.
And no we’re here.

Heh! I've been told by kith & kin I can be rather thick headedAnd some people don’t get sarcasm.
Huh! I'm 72, and I had what little hair I have left cut at "Great Clips" just last week.My Dad's 80yo, it's "Clips"!
A while back, I posted pictures of the two "Permit to Purchase Pistol" documents my dad had to obtain from the Chief of Police in Ogden, Utah in 1959 - so that he could buy a pair of Colt revolvers.No less than Col Samuel Colt advertised his pistols as pistols, lots of people get a little anal about pistol vs revolver too.
The son of the President, he led the landings on Utah Beach on D-Day and received the Medal of Honor.
However, he said:
So if you puff up and pontificate when someone says 'clip', show your Medal of Honor and the beaches you landed upon.
