Dictionaries and wikis about beekeeping terms are there for the searching; but is there any sort of collection of unofficial or semi-jocular terms? One such term that I heard today on a Youtube video from USA about removing stray bee nests from buildings was "cow tongue" for a tall thin comb (about 5 feet high and 4 inches wide) which was that shape because the bees built it in a confined space.
