ok, so maybe a bit awkward.

BinderInDarkness?

Cute.

Why not just go for the truth-in-advertising straightforward approach:

public class Antipattern {
     ...
}

Hey, aren't you that guy that doused this newsgroup in gasoline and set 
fire to it a few years ago when someone criticized emacs?

Here's an example of a similar thing:

<http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/annotation/processing/ProcessingEnvironment.html>

That's the Processing Environment for the Java compiler annotation 
processor.  Notice it's got some things similar to your idea -- 
getOptions, getTypeUtils, some other stuff like getFiler (the file 
system, i.e., persistence) and some stuff specific to the problem domain 
(ElementUtils, Messager, etc.)

Notice too it's not a "god object" -- it's only got a few objects 
contained with in it.  It doesn't know everything, just the top level 
interfaces.  That's much closer to what I think of as an 
ApplicationContext -- half a dozen to a dozen getters max, and only 
deals with well scoped top level concepts.

I think from most responses in this thread a fitting name can be concluded:

public class MyMistake ...
