It is said that the beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.

It isn't an aborted landing or a "pull up", it's a go-around, in visual conditions, or a missed approach, in instrument conditions.

While we're at it...
Takeoffs are aborted.
The left side of the airplane is called the left and the right side of the airplane is called the right.
The airplanes wait on the taxiway or ramp, not the runway.
The pavement on which the airplanes park is called the ramp (apron in Canada).
