For example, when I see '#!', I read 'shebang' and it rolls off

the

tongue, but 'dollar underscore' is clumsy.

I tend to call it "implicit scalar".

How 'bout "impliscalar"?

Or "defariable" for default variable.

Or, since Randal and Tom refer to it as "Perl's Favorite Default" in
Learning Perl what about 'perlfave'?
