You should avoid calling the region that appears on the right by hitting N a 'panel' since 'panels' are the drag-able and collapsible button containers. I usually refer to it as the properties region since it's technically correct. We also discussed this in blender/blender#43623 but without much success.

hi,
The Tool Shelf includes Tabs & Tool Shelf Panels.
The Properties Shelf includes the Properties Shelf Panels.
This is consistent.
The word Shelf, correctly describes the menu style for these areas. Where confusion comes in is the wrong naming of the Properties Shelf such as Properties Region, Properties Area or any other wrong description. These become more confusing in context when describing the Properties Editor.
When & decision is made here I'll update all addons to make sure they follow convention.
How to call the "Operator panel" Blender at the bottom of the tool shelf
in the manual it is named "context-sensitive panel"
tool + operator panel?
Now that bigger ui elements are >< sort out to the small buttons:
my idea: everything that overlaps is a pop-up (transp. black box)
but how to call the : classical menubar menu button, menu-enum button and color button
menu-enum: dropdown, droplist
color: swatch, field, selector
combobox (text input + list): Selector

@JulianEisel I will be closing this soon. Do you think this should go on the wiki somewhere? Is so then where?
