Note that John's code doesn't do actual currying, but partial evaluation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_evaluation
Currying is a complex concept in comparison to the latter.
Anyway, you can change the name if you want, the idea is simple, create a
closure with fixed parameters.
We can name it callback (though it's long)
jQuery("#test").hide("slow", jQuery.callback.show("slow") );
Not to hard to understand IMO, and no CS involved :)
