Given bifunctor $F$, what is the name of the functor with switched arguments?

Sorry for the unspecific title. Here the actual question:

Given categories $\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}$, let $S$ be the canonical functor $\mathcal{B} \times \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{A} \times \mathcal{B}$.

Given a bifunctor $F : \mathcal{A} \times \mathcal{B} \to \mathcal{C}$, is there an established name or notation for:

  • the functor $F\circ S : \mathcal{B} \times \mathcal{A}\to \mathcal{C}$
  • the "induced" functor $\mathcal{B} \to \mathcal{C}^\mathcal{A}$ (which I would call the exponential transpose of $F\circ S$, but that is unsatisfactory)

A partial answer will suffice.
