This is a pattern in Andrei, which I think it really hurts the language
(the names are very clever and funny, but that shouldn't be the point of
a name, a name should be clear).
At least in this case being funny was not the point. I needed a name
that was (a) short, (b) different from "reverse", (c) memorable. It is
understood that other paint colors are available, but please don't
forget to give a little love to the painter. :o) It would be of course
best if names that arguably hurt the language were changed, so please
compile a list.

I never understood the reason for that the names need to be short. I
think the most important thing is that the names are clear. Just look at
the C standard library, it's horrible, almost every name is an
abbreviation of some kind.
Are you trying to start a flame war?
What's wrong with LISP's car and cdr?
Isn't it obvious to all and sundry that car is the head element
of a singly linked list and cdr is the rest of the list with the
head element removed?
