[tor-talk] "Hidden Services" vs "Onion services"

[Virgil Griffith]

Right now I perceive consensus in accepting the term "onion services"
as a synonym for "hidden services", and when it's specifically a
website, also suggesting the more specific term, "onion site".

Cool.  I support that.  For nonnative speakers it might sometimes to
be useful to say "onion-site" to avoid ambiguity, but "onion site"
should be fine in most cases.

If there's ever an accepted candidate as a replacement for "dark net",
I am interested.  So far the most plausible candidates I've seen are
"onion net" and "onion space".  Which at least follows from the "onion
site" name.
