Agreed with everything Alan said, and also I want to point out that these are not Chris Page's terms - they are, as best I can tell, placeholder terms created by the "admonsterators" of ContraDB, designed to be so ridiculous that you have no choice but to use something else. (If you create a ContraDB account you can set your "dialect", i.e. preferred role names, and then you'll see those role names across ContraDB.)
