Why not just call it what it is? Either "checking" or "calling", depending on what you're actually talking about.

Sure, in many cases you might want to tilt your opponent, when someone is shown a bluff, it's natural for them to get upset, secondly: showing bluffs will ideally give you a "loose" image, you can trick others into thinking that all you do is play with nothing if you keep showing bluffs, and at that point if you play a real hand, then you're in a great spot to trap them.

Those are just asic examples though
