Never thought of it that way -- never heard it said just that way. When manning the 'try it' pillow and talking someone through the stitches, I found myself saying, "middle (two threads) cross to the right, then both pairs to the left", then, "middle right, both left". It shortens down to, "middle, both, middle". If they persisted past a dozen stitches, then I would start inserting the correct terms of cross and twist. Maybe methods for dealing with 5-minute-lacemakers are different from teaching a serious student. I'll have to think on this when I get a new student.
