imo, a better term to use for it would be 'private class' , because anonymous is a bit fuzzy.
I disagree. Anonymous classes is the term that has been used for over two decades. It means, literally, a class that has no name because it is not in Smalltalk (or in a top-level environment if the dialect has namespaces). This is not at all fuzzy. Private class means something quite different, a class that is private to some environment, e.g. a class nested within another class as occurs in SmalltalkAgents or Newspeak.
+1 Anonymous = without name. There's not much to add to it. Regards,
