which is a good opportunity to introduce said nomenclature, and ideas to them, rather than renaming said method to something more "palatable".

In my experience just name-dropping monads in non functional-programming oriented circles will get weird looks.

EDIT: I would even argue, as a fan of FP, that it's not immediately obvious how this terminology or concept even helps, from the point of view of a non purely functional programming language

Because the alternative to using one name is using more than one name. These days I'm pretty sure I'm using `select` to mean `map`.
