If someone were told Butterfly and Breaststroke are short-axis strokes, how would you explain what 'short-axis' means? Trying to find a simple way to explain this phrase, but I'm coming up fairly empty.

Long axis makes sense for back and free as you really should rotate along your long axis. I think since people were really trying to emphasize the rotation this name stuck.By analogy fly and *** were called short axis,but IMHO that is a confusing description. In both *** and fly you should undulate not teeter-totter.How about long axis vs undulate(or axis of evil vs"the good ones":duel::thhbbb::rofl::dedhorse:)
That's a good suggestion except that you got your "evil v/s good" analogy mixed.
It's (or should be): :2cents:
Long = Good (Free = better than good) (Back....OK!)
Undulate = Depends
(Fly = nice to watch and good if you do it well)
(*** = Evil)
