I know plenty of 18-25 y/o people and I am giggling when they use the term "one-trick pony" for their narrow-minded colleagues (or bosses). I am glad they are smart and are not easily impressed. Critical thinking is important.

Personally I feel that some of the gaming lingo fits really well in the real world but it might be just me.

"one trick pony" is somewhat older lingo than electronic games i think

Online Etymology Dictionary claims: "The figurative one-trick pony is 1897, American English, in reference to circus acts."

Could be. I admit I heard it first in videogames but I am not an authoritative source.

yeah the term is older than gaming, but I brought it up in reference to DoTA.
