Having just rewatched The Doctor’s Wife, I noticed something I hadn’y before. When they’re building a new TARDIS the doctor calls the mirror a retroscope. Is this just him using interesting words to colourfully describe the mundane? I imagine a deadline for a deadly crisis doing verry little to curb his need to sound clever, his love for silly things, or his compulsive fibbing.

As it is, mirrors are really much cooler when you call them retroscopes, which works as a very clever technically descriptive name for them.
