Revisit language: is "Contextual filters" the right thing to call "Arguments"?

I don't see any other open issues for this, but I'm sure it's been discussed before so feel free to mark this as duplicate if I'm in the wrong place. :)

I think "Contextual filters" is the wrong language to use for arguments. I agree it needs to be changed, but "context" means so many things elsewhere in Drupal that I don't think adding it into views *also* is the right thing to do.

What do people think about "Dynamic filters"?

I'd like to get some consensus on this language (maybe we're already there - and if so I'll have to accept that) before we start updating the panels UI to use the new name for arguments.
