SABLE and BOUF

Some of the JJ1 cheats are names of games, CSTRIKE and DOOM and HOCUS. Some are names of developers, ARJAN and MARK and TIM. Some are more or less English, CHECK and GREETZ and GUNHED and HOOKER and LAMER . BAD is fairly close to "bird," and KEN is probably Ken Silverman. So... SABLE? BOUF? I don't understand.

(Apparently sable is Spanish for "saber," which I guess is conceptually speed-adjacent, and bouf is French for "beef," which might refer to beefing you up. But neither explanation quite convinces me.)
