Why should "nanotechnology" refer specifically and solely to nanorobots?

It doesn't. Except to Jenny Everett who is a graduate of the Humpty Dumpty School of Journalism

nanotechnology
/nan'-oh-tek-no"l*-jee/ Any fabrication technology in which objects are designed and built by the specification and placement of individual atoms or molecules or where at least one dimension is on a scale of nanometers.

The real Gigantor

Nice to have a girlfriend who keeps your self-esteem up.

Along with other things, that is.

From the movie Caddyshack:
Carl: So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock.

So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking.

So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one---big hitter, the Lama---long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga.

So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

I missed that one. I remember Dan Akroids Bass-a-Matic, New Dad, All the ones with Mainway Toys (Little Johnny Bag of Glass...) Jogger Motel was great!
The Self-Slaughter Steak House. The "It's a Floor wax! No It's a desert topping!"
And those public service announcements for the "Decabet" and the "metric week"- today being Saturthurs.
