I think it is somewhat reasonable to describe the slopes in terms of their
use as roof pieces, though obviously the "half pyramid" end piece and the
2x2 peak with bite taken out of it (so it can form a junction or turn in a
roof peak) do cause confusion. Perhaps if we called these "1x2 end cap" and
"2x2 peak junction".

I'd agree. In principle, where bricks do have obvious uses you'd need
to keep that use in the name for simplicity.

After all, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find some exotic uses
for wheels, but is anyone seriously going to suggest that we don't call
them wheels in case anyone ever uses them for anything different?
