"option" instead of "candidate" (because the "candidates" we are talking about need not be people but candidate is usually understood to be a person).  Likewise, "option pairs" instead of "candidate pairs" etc.

"contest" instead of "election" (because a real world election often consists of more than one contest).   Multi-winner contests consist of one or more rounds where one or more options are selected each round. The winner(s) for each round is(are) that round's "result" (not "outcome" because we have not yet reached that point).  An "election" consists of one or more contests and an  "election event" consists of one or more elections.  The winner(s) of a contest comprise that contest's "outcome" (not "result" because we are past that point already). A "competition" or "pair competition" is the comparison of voter's preferences between two options (or however many comparisons the particular method at issue focuses on) in a contest.

"winning magnitudes" or just "magnitudes" as shorthand when addressing knowledgeable election method gurus instead of "winning votes" (to be consistent with the alternative "margins").

Also, to continue with this fun, "ree" instead of "he/she", "rees" instead if "his/hers", "erm" instead of "him/her" and (therefore "ermself" instead of "himself/herself").
