I don’t know any other name for it. While this strings are basically SSO (or a twist of it).

From TFA and AndyP's slides it seems to specifically refer to a variant of SSO where, for large strings, a fixed-sized prefix of the string is stored along-side the pointer, in the same location as that fixed-size prefix would be fore SSO strings. This means that strings lacking a common prefix can be quickly compared without pointer-chasing (or even knowing if they are small vs large).

"System's Horrendous Pile Of Shit".

If anyone ever referred to Apps Hungarian that would be "Simonyi's Wish For A Proper Type System", but nobody ever does.
