Never heard it named that.
But that (and I stress that) is the reason I had trouble reading The Expanse series. Trying to read pages and pages of that Belter patoise was just so difficult and frustrating. I ended up skipping over a lot of it.

Don't know how bad it can be? Then watch Dominique Tipper in the last two seasons of Expanse tv show, when she decided to go full swing with the accent. It was cringe-worthy, bordering on baby talk.
