The only context in which I can see a justification for using any word other
than that normally used by the shell is if the site in question would be the
only experience the user would ever have of using a computer with that shell
(or with a similar shell).

Otherwise your just creating another piece of jargon. In fact it's worse;
you're creating an ideolect.
