Depends; why ‘Flash’ for the bishop? Perhaps there's sth matching for that etymology

"Flash" for the Bishop is the same origin as for the superhero: it moves like a flash! In so doing, the Bishop leaves a vacuum in its wake that pulls the other piece along.

And thank you for that list, O Master Piecefinder! I'll take a look at those.

And being on the autism spectrum, I don't mind a bit of linguistic pendantry. :)
