Your cheap shot is unfounded: a Google search for '"domain suffix" site:verisign.com' yields one page, where the two words don't even appear together. Microsoft has actually used the term "domain suffix" in the context of its stub resolver search list for years--it goes back several versions of Windows. But in this context, the term can refer to any domain name, not just TLDs. So while it's not a term that I use, it has been around for some time.
