"dollar-under." A little better than having the "score" on the end I

Subject: Whimsical Question
Perlers,
<snip>
I realized this after reading over example code in the
Alpaca and it got me to wondering: _Is_ there a name for '$_' ? For
example, when I see '#!', I read 'shebang' and it rolls off the tongue,
but 'dollar underscore' is clumsy. Does anyone know if a name exists?
If not, do any of you have pet name for it?
