Menu
During a design meeting the question came up "What is the name of the component with three horizontal lines?" It's common in mobile apps and mobile web, visualizing something to swipe. Googling the subject it seems Navicon or Drawer are used often, though I also see Side Swipe and even Hamburger. Trying to arrive at a consensus...

Insiders call it "the hamburger": Three stacked lines, usually in the top left- or right-hand corner of a website, which people can click to see a menu of pages on the site. Once considered an industry standard, the icon has been getting a lot of attention lately—and not all positive.
The hamburger menu or hamburger icon is a name given to the menu icon found in newer programs and websites that hides the traditional file menu. Alternatively referred to as the hotdog menu, three-line menu, or menu button, using the hamburger menu makes it easier to view program options on mobile devices.
I think the best candidate is "Three Horizontal Lines".
Take a look at this post they did a brief history of it's usage: http://mobile.smashingmagazine.com/2012/10/08/the-semantic-responsive-design-navicon/

I think it should be "THL navicon" as its abreviation to three horizontal lines and easier for spoken language. But its already known as the hamburger or drawer menu.
