My interpretation of "Pythonic" is "idiomatic in Python". It's just a simple mashup of the two words, with the added bonus of being quite easy to say, and perhaps sounding cool/interesting/appealing. It's a bit harder for us poor C programmers to come up with a matching term. "C-nic" (rhymes with "scenic") just looks weird, but of course the double meaning would be amusing: "this code doesn't look very C-nic"!
