Now you're just being silly. Much of Boeing's terminology pre-dates the very existence of Airbus (heck, some of it probably dates back to WWII if not before). More specifically, the Boeing use of the term "Auto-Throttle' dates back to the 1960's - the early 747s had a system called "FFRATS" - Full Flight Regime Auto Throttle System.
Find me a pilot that doesn't know what "pull back the throttle" means, and I'll show you a pilot that has no business in the pointy end of an aircraft.
