You're right it's ambiguous. It's a playful reference to a piece of literature.

It's also quite an old terminology which is not going to change.

If we could come up with a new terminology from the start we could find better options.

For example:

* Least/Most Significant First (LSF / MSF) * Low/High Address Least Significant (LALS/HALS)

Etc
