How about 1-on-1 D? Or maybe call it "straight up" D? We used to have a couple variations on our man-to-man defense, but when we didn't use one of the variations, we called it "straight-up man".

I think one-on-one works great. For "find your man" (which in a girls' game sounds like a Tammy Wynette song!) use, "D- up!" For those pesky undefended lay-ups by the opponent, yell, "Who's on #17?" rather than, "Whose man is that?" It has nothing to do with PC. It's just basic respect. Oops, that sounds a little testy. I'll get off the soap box now.
