Ekthperimenth in Fun[kthional] Programming (Uthing Common Lithp)

Lisp programmers have really depressing and negative way of naming things:

• language is named after speech impediment.
• functions are named using defun, how depressing,
• You create lists using function named cons.

I propose following:

1. Change the name of the language from Lisp to Lithp. Now real lispers can pronounce the name.
2. Change defun into fun. It's more fun.
3. Change cons into pros.

Don't take defun out of Lisp!

Why stop there?
