The act of learning enough about a subject to be dangerous in conversation or writing. Those who are
adept at gisting can participate in conversations with subject experts without getting lost
along the way. Anyone who prides themselves on knowing a little about a lot, knowing enough to be dangerous, or being considered
a quick study is probably good at gisting.
Example:
Hannah spent some time gisting on fluid
dynamics so that she could
have a better interview with the engineers.
People call Megan
a quick study, but she's really just very good at gisting.
I didn't follow everything that Emily said, but I'm gisting my way through it.
