If this is for deeply dechnical conversations then i am not sure
how much it helps to come up with analogies into foodie land. Not
that i would mind, but its yet another terminology to remember.

Usually, we (technies) try to indulge into TLAification:

  VR = Voucher
  VRQ = Voucher Request
  NS  = No prior signed
  PS  = Pledge Signed
  MS  = Masa Signed

  NS-VRQ, PS-VRQ, MS-VRQ ?

In any case: think of names whose abbriations can be used on labels
of ASCII art explaining the signaling flows ;-)
Think of n
