You could just tell him it’s a cross-ice pass, a through the slot pass, or just a pass that crosses the center of the ice. You guys don’t need to pretend you know more because you’re suddenly using a term nobody has used on here for the last several years before the Colorado PGT.

It's been a term for a while - since they started keeping better stats on shot location, would be my guess. I, for one, have used it before on this site, though I usually go with cross-crease, TBH. Bottom line though, is that it is an actual term, and there is nothing 'funny' about using it on a hockey chat site -
it is hardly 'pretending to know more'.
