pushd/popd are rather well known shell builtins for directory stack manipulation. That's probably the rationale for the naming.

    Ok. I come from the programming side of the world and just use perl when I need something fancier in a shell.

      Why should the fact that you come from a programming world mean that the idea of a stack is foreign to you? Surely the idea of pushd/popd is quite obvious to a programmer? (I.e: I dont give a crap where i am now, take me back to the last place i was....)

        It means that there's no association between the term "pushd" (which he saw as an abbreviation of "pushed") and changing directories. Nothing to do with foreignness of stacks.

    ...for some values of "shell"...
