In France we can identify with your complaint.
When we wish to describe the "pucker" embouchure we say "cul du poule" which
literally translates as "a$$ of a chicken"

As to the rest of your missive I agree completely especially;
>"When I hit those high bends there may be something on my body that is
puckered,
but it ain't my lips".<

As to;
>I offer a simple change in nomenclature:
It's not pucker;  it's "Single-Hole."<

The English term I personally prefer is "lip blocking",
I have yet to find an appropriate term in French.
