Two people who will care are 1) your fellow pilot and 2) your check airman.
"Auto-scrumdidlyumptious on" will not elicit the desired response from the Pilot Monitoring, and anything other than the manufacturer's or company's term for the 'go-fast-sticks' (or any other installed equipment) will bring heat from the check airman. They like standardization.

Now, my company just can't decide: they're referred to as Thrust Levers and Throttles in different parts of the manual, so either term is acceptable. Other places I've worked have been a bit more anal about the terminology.
