Legend
Something to remember is that he's writing on the Gleemax boards, presumably for Gleemax readers primarily. People who frequent the Gleemax, and the WOTC boards before, likely know what the jargon meaning of Gish is. That you, or I or anyone else who doesn't frequent the boards don't particularly know what that jargon means, just means that he's not specifically talking to you or me.
Then again, I spent a number of years in the military. Try watching a conversation between military and non-military people. I've seen a lot of head scratching going on there as well. Or, try talking about html programing to someone with no computer skills.
Heck, what does TESOL mean? I know. Everyone I work with knows. That must mean that everyone knows don't they? Oh, they don't? Well, then they must not have ties to my field. No biggie.
Don'tcha think that game designers have jargon just like EVERY other field? And that jargon, from time to time, slips into everyday conversation.
