To continue with the languages pun, in Russian it means something like "diarrhea", which, strangely also kind of makes sense, ... in a toilet humor kind of disgusting way.
I think it is a good name.
To add though, this is a cool idea. I like it generates an internal-kind of load. Not necessarily driven from external requests. So this combined with tsung to test how the system behaves in various scenarios.
Operating under load is not something many people test. Search Erlang Factor talks and you'll find many talks by Erlang experts on load monitoring, load shedding and so on basically characterizing behaviour during overload conditions.
