> someone decided to call them "items." I prefer to call my stuff "things."

  I like "entities" -- I feel so smart when I use that.

    The only other name left is "entries", right?

      An "entry" at least implies there is a list somewhere (as would "element"). Both "item" and "entity" are more like "thing". I could see adding "object" to the list.

        "entry" is a fantasticly sinister name if you're writing the sql directly in your application though. object would be hilarious in java assuming the compiler lets you do that.

      Heh. Except for: element, action, slot, task, goal, task command, subject, target, source, destination, object, actor, path, key, memo, manifest, sender, receiver, self, this, thing, data, value, register, ... I think you enumerated them all.
