Ah yes, but it is also the name of a rodent - which may have factored into the decision to keep the name in English. I originally didn't put the word in, but seeing that it had an English meaning, I thought it couldn't hurt.

Masticate makes far more sense, since it means to chew or gnaw.

Awesome list! But I thought Raticate was Rat + Eradicate :)
