I sense that the disdain for 'splat' was on account of its use as 
onomatopeia. I understand, and thought the same thing at first 
(reminded me of the old Batman TV series: Bam! Boffo! Splat!) but 
we get used to anything.

'splat operator' is how I'd Google it. If you're familiar with 
Ruby or PHP you'll see that terminology. Coffeescript too; here's 
an SO entry that gets the idea across
