Not something I would do but it is cool
Now, if you make my Facetime look like the Warehouse 13 phones I'll give you my first born.

Lol - does it make me immature to have laughed every single time I changed an instance of "FaceTime" to "SexyTime".
I especially love:
"SexyTime was denied."
"SexyTime failed."
"@% does not want to SexyTime." (Or something similar.)
I love it.
Mega kudos to the OP. Thank you, sir.

A high five to the first person that writes a package to do this automatically. I could probably whip one up but I want a program that lets you choose the replacement word. This is a little bit more complicated than a straightforward script but I don't have any experience in writing an iOS program.
To the OP... I backedup my original file "vc~AB.strings" to my hard drive..
I opened it using Windows Notepad (is that right?) and I see this:
You said to change every instance of FaceTime to SexyTime... does that include the "XFaceTime" towards the end of the line?
EDIT: Does anyone have the files already modded :\
OP PMed me back saying he doesn't know because it doesn't look like that (he's using a Mac).

HOW TO:
Change every instance of "FaceTime" to "SexyTime" in these files:
/System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookUI.framework/English.lproj/vc~AB.strings
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Conference.framework/English.lproj/vc~Conference.strings
/private/var/stash/Applications/Preferences.app/English.lproj/vc~Restrictions.strings
Have a sexy time! Thanks for nothing, I figured it out myself!
OLD:
I've scoured the iOS 4 filesystem on my iPhone 4 in search of a clue. I've changed all of my localization .string files to say SexyTime instead of FaceTime. I've tried hexediting MobilePhone and Springboard, but nothing I try will change the word "FaceTime" on anything but the Settings->Restrictions section and the button in Contact video.
I don't know much about how applications work, but upon inspection, MobilePhone and Springboard seem to put "VIDEO_LABEL" in place of where the word FaceTime goes, yet the localization files have to strings for VIDEO_LABEL.
FaceTime is also referred to as "Video Calling" and "vc" a few times, but nothing I try works. Anyone have any better ideas about how to do this? I'm at the end of my wit and only half way to full SexyTime.
The problem areas are:
1. When someone calls you from FaceTime it still says "so and so wants to FaceTime"
2. When I miss a FaceTime call, it still says "Missed FaceTime"
3. The bottom center button shown during a phone call still says "FaceTime"
4. During the initiation of a FaceTime call, the top still says "FaceTime" before "connecting..."
5. In Settings -> Phone, the switch still says "FaceTime"
HOW DO I OPEN THESE ON MY MBP? DOESNT RECOGNIZE THIS FILE.
Don't double click the file in WinSCP. Copy it to your desktop first then edit it with Notepad++ or any other good text editor
Here ya go, enjoy!
