I can at least sympathize with your problem, although
I don't have a great solution for you.  I often have
trios of variables like this:

   answer_dct
   answers
   answer

English mostly pluralizes with an "s," but I sometimes
resort to bad English to keep the convention going:

   mouse_dct
   mouses (not mice)
   mouse

I also still waste brain cycles on naming
dictionaries.  Sometimes I name the dictionary after
the values it stores, sometimes after the keys it
uses, and sometimes after both.
