dsc  = dedicated singleton class

sco  = singleton class object

asco = attached singleton class object

"singleton instance" = the one and only instance
"singleton method"   = a method, exclusively for one instance
"singleton class"    = a class,  exclusively for one instance

=>

sco  = Singleton class object

sc   = Singleton class

s    = singleton

=> <object>.singleton

=> <object>.singletonClass

obj.class
obj.class_singleton
obj.singleton_class
