I have an objection to this: "def" is short for define, and a lambda does not produce a definition. This isn't just about saving keystrokes, and even if it were, saving only three would not be worth it for a syntax that is just as confusing as the existing one.
I'd argue it defines a function or method, which is what happens when used, or proposed to be used.
Also, I don't believe the confusion mentioned was regarding syntax, but rather a word that most people have never heard before.
