I think SE's been getting carried away with this lately. Why do we have "bivouacs" when we can just have "camps" ? Reives? I had to look this up to find out it's a variant on the word "Reave" and means "to rob or plunder." Is that what we're doing when we're whacking tree roots and hornet's nests?

Not to mention all the weird names for things in the past, like Pankration and Brenner.
