I would rather not use either of those names around clients that don't really know anything about power since they are not the most pleasant of names. Unfortunately those are the only names I know them by.
For those that haven't heard those names before they are used for a large cable with twist lock on it that has all three phases of power along with the neutral and ground. Hotels and convention centers sometimes use them for smaller draws that still need 5-wire service (like a small number of chain motors). I have seem a few that have Cams on the other end (which is what I would end up using all the time).
