I prefer to call them "transaction fees" myself. I believe that's what "gas" refers to; people apparently call it "gas" these days so I have adopted that terminology so that everybody knows what I'm talking about. IIUC Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other PoW-based crypto "coins" all require transaction fees to function, so that's what I'm referring to, regardless of what people associated with any particular "coin" choose to call them.
