Why doesn't a "technical term" belong in the GUI in the first place?

If majority of people who use git know and use the term "push" to describe that concept, certainly they will be the people from whom the new people who start to use git (either from command line or from GUI) get help. Why do you want to have them use different language to make the communication more difficult?
