How about 'mock' + 'stub' = 'mob'? Mob...wisdom of
crowds....associations are endless.... :-)

For the record, I think there is a theoretical difference between mocks
and stubs (and John Arbash Meinel's message summarizes it very well).
But practice trumps theory every time, and in practice I noticed that
people use these terms inter-changeably, and they mostly use stubs, not
mocks.
