    A lot of terms are made popular by the users and adopted as part of everyday language. Surfing the 'net... blue screen of death... spam... we just put things into the same words that our customers use.

    By the way, spoofing is a real word, not one that's been recently invented, and it's being used accurately to describe when one user forges the identity of or pretends to be another.
