Clearly, the fish commits to the offering, but from a technical perspective, a "floss" mechanism is what seals the deal for an outside-in hookup.

What do you suggest I call it?

I agree with you that the term "hangback flossing" does tend to alienate a lot of folks into rejecting the method's legitimacy. It really does need a better more universally accepted label.
