In English, this would depend on which side of the Atlantic you live
in. Here in North America the standard terminology would be 128th
note/rest or 256th note or rest. I'm not sure what the British call
it. It will be something like semi-demi-hemi-quaver I believe..
someone will correct me if I'm wrong (quite possible!)

Most people in North America simply will not understand the British terms.

Cheers,
David
