I have heard "la pompe" used to describe the left hand in stride piano. I think it is an old fashion, Parisian slang way to denote any sort of solid (some might say repetitive) rhythm playing in early 20th century music forms.
they call it la plume(feather) maybe due to the fact that they were using a feather in the middle ages
as a plectrum when they play the luth , i think some oud players still do.

My aunt had one of those. She kept it on her table.

Yes, right next to her pen. I never understood the point of that, but you always knew where it was!
