It you are worried about calling it BM call it back since that is what it
is.  Dann when did you worry about being PC anyway?

Dan -

"Back Matter" is it.  It tends to be more of a production term, though: 
you don't often (I don't think) see "Back Matter" in a table of
contents.

Since it's an in-house term, you could start calling it "end stuff" or
"final gunk" or....... ;)

On a Friday at the end of the semester, I'm not so sure it's a bad thing
to keep something around that makes people laugh!
