Description
Am I the only person that thinks "Hustle" is a silly name for a runeword? Surely "Haste", "Swift", "Celerity", or something similar would have been a better tonal match with the rest of the runeword canon? I feel very strongly about this, but at this point there's not much to be done for it. It'd just be nice to know I'm not the only one indignant about it.
Can be used to make Runewords:

I agree, I think it's a dumb name. Ah well

If they had added reduced vendor selling prices, it would make more sense
I also agree.
And my characters agree, but at this point they would not want the name to be changed. When they have one equipped, they get way too much enjoyment out of running around and singing "do the Hustle!"

On the plus side, at least it wasn't "Hustler."

Doesn't anyone know the most common meaning of the word?
-"Come on people, Hustle!" equates to -"Hurry up people, get moving".
It can also refer to urgent/urgency, expedite, hasten, make haste, bump/buffet/jog, force/press/rush and crowding...

Maybe I'm part of the minority but I like it. Reminds me of the song 'The Hustle' and dance that came up from it
"Do the Hustle!!"
"Do the Hustle!!"
I'm willing to accept other forms of currency. Like Tokens, Keys, Perfect Gems, and certain minor runes in lieu of my asking price. I'm also willing to accept rune combinations that add up to my asking price.
"Haste" would have been a more Diablo-esque sounding word. Hustle sounds too modern and slangish. I blame too much rap & hip hop culture in society =P
If it is named after the song 'The Hustle', that was released in 1975...and its a disco song, not rap or hip-hop...

But do we know that it is named after that 1975 song? It's open to individual interpretation it seems.
We don't know, that's why I started my statement with an 'If'.

But that use of "Hustle" is an imperative. Every other runeword is a noun or noun phrase.

Based on the fire buffs associated with Temper, I'd say it's named after the verb of Temper and not the noun usage

A metal object's Temper is a reference to the properties it obtained as a consequence of the forging process, including its resilience to heat. I'd say it still fits the mold.

If you consider the first known use of Hustle in 1684 in English to be modern, suuure?
Taken from the Dutch "hutselen", meaning "to shake", it had "changed to its modern meaning of hurry or move quickly by 1812".
Uh, Hustle is also a noun in that use...

Along that same thought process we can use Hustle as a noun: the act of hustling.
I'm willing to accept other forms of currency. Like Tokens, Keys, Perfect Gems, and certain minor runes in lieu of my asking price. I'm also willing to accept rune combinations that add up to my asking price.
To expand on my previous point, the noun meanings of "Hustle" are (1) the component of the phrase "Hustle and bustle" that almost never appears without its idiomatic partner and (2) a fraud or swindle, and the more modern derivatives of that use case. Neither definition is what the runeword appears to be appealing to. And if it is, it feels anachronistic, as both are, to my mind, connotatively linked to post-industrial society.
