There's a funny story about that.  Jerry says that he always read that
as "ess-to-ess-ess-see", and couldn't figure out what the "ssc" stood 
for.  He added sbumpc (or was it snextc?) which did more or less the 
same thing, because he just didn't think of stossc as doing that.  
It was only when somebody finally called it "ess-toss-see" that he 
realized what it was about, but by then it was too late.
