If you don't like the term "toot" it's fine, it shouldn't matter who coined it. Don't make your likes or dislikes dependent on who stuff or ideas come from.

I just wanted to explain some history of that term.

The knowledge of that history and context is what should influence your taste, not the specific individuals involved.
