user or thread group ? session ?

As a programmer, I immediately understand what thread group means, but I must confess that I always rename as something like "users" or "service subscribers" in my test plans. "session" seems very abstract to me, unless you specify what kind of session it is, e.g. "load session" or "meter session".

What about something like "load injectors" or "traffic generators" or "load units" ?

Many people confuse both concepts. They launch 100 threads requesting
pages with 1-second pauses, bringing their server to its knees, and
state that "the system can't withstand 100 users!".

Although, given they're confused anyway, it wouldn't make much harm :-)

Anyone has a better idea? LoserGroup and Number of Losers?

I'm not sure it is less confusing but what about 'Session'?
