Negative acceleration is still acceleration.

Refer to the brake as "the accelerator" and see how that goes for you.
How far it gets you depends very much on the observers frame of reference.
Gonna refer to everyone going -10KPH over the speed limit as "speeding"
Refer to it as the throttle, and avoid the confusion.
