I grew up with IBM utility names made out of un-pronouncable dipthongs and had my own private names for them, such as pteradactyl. Some co-workers got used to this and started doing the same. This seemed to increase our confidence that we understood each other, if not the systems we used. Knew another programmer who liked labels such as "there", "here" and shades of OO, "this". Eventually got used to that too.
I can enjoy a bit of mysticism as much as the next person, until it turns earnest!
