"See-saw" seems to be an eastern term based on my survey of two people from the midwest and far west who call them "teeter-totters." In kindergarten I jumped off the teeter-totter when my end was on the ground. The other rider plunged, the teacher scolded me, and now I think teeter-totters are scary.
What do you call these simple machines: t-totters or s-saws? Why "see-saw?" What's that all about? "I see; you saw???" Do you think that "teeter-totter" sounds kind of wussy?
