Sorry, but why stop there? A "bend" is not even a bend if you don't "slide" (continuous pitch change) into the note.
Winslow calls 'em "created notes".
We could call 'em "flats" and "sharps", e.g. 3 draw flat or 6 blow sharp (way sharp).
Or maybe pick words that associate with physical actions, like "7 pull sharp" or "9 push flat"..
