> So maybe we should change the terminology while we’re at it.

When math is taught to elementary school students in the US, it's called "order of operations": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

Since this was raised in the context of newcomers to coding, it might be worth mentioning that parallel. Being able to connect to the familiar concepts of "first" and "last" might help people not familiar with precedence and binding.
