Without taking sides on the prone/supine terminology question, I do have a strong reaction to the Benabou/May/Dubuc concern that respect for a field is undermined by its adoption of frivolous terminology.
Dear Vaughan, as everybody has a say. Just my views. I prefer some nomenclature that sounds mathematical, rather than based on the name of a friend or a private joke. (may be i don't understand all the jokes ?) Also in any case one should avoid renaming existing concepts, that is just not fair. Good opportunity to wish happy new year to everybody.
