>Also, deny list and allow list are more precise terms anyway.

Are they? Black/whitelist feels way more natural to me. You can also say things like "blacklisted this ip" instead of "adding to the deny list" or something.

I prefer "blocklist" and "allowlist" which sound more natural to me, but you could certainly use "denylisted this IP".

That's fair. Although I still think blacklist/whitelist is more natural/easier for most people to understand.

"I allowed this ip" "I denied this ip"

that these are stored in a particular data structure isn't the important part IMO

It's really very easy. "denylisted this IP"

Add this ip to the deny list.
