With the focus of devs on 'push related issues' lately, I thought it might be interesting to examine what a 'push' really is.
thanks to dictionary.com...
Push
1. To apply pressure against for the purpose of moving
2. To move (an object) by exerting force against it; thrust or shove
3. To force (one's way)
4.To urge forward or urge insistently; pressure
5.To bear hard upon; press
6. To exert downward pressure on (a button or keyboard, for example); press
8. Informal: To approach in age
9. Slang

I believe "Push" is shorthand for "Push to Live" or "Push to release" -- it applies to incremental updates, etc. in the software/game biz. At least, that is the way I have heard it used (and used it myself).
