Yes,
but we don't want it to get out of hand, like calling it orgy() instead of join().
Or condom() instead of secure().
Or onClimax() instead of onFinished()

But that's no fun -- it doesn't involve sex!
How about this: "index" and "sex" both end with "ex", which
is short for "exception".
(Of course, you could get straight from "index

Don't use "str" and you won't have anything to remember:
'foo bar baz'.find('spam')
'spanish inquisition'.index('parrot')

Silly but true. It started with trying to figure how to remember it's
strip() and not trim().
Then it went downhill from there.

I often can't remember that to remove spaces from a string whether it's
strip() or trim(), and when finding patterns with the re library
whether it's find() or search() and when iterating over key, values of
a dictionary whether it's items() or entries().
But then I remember that Python is "sexy".
