The “real” EST means “Eastern Standard Time”. The top commenter thought it was “European Standard Time” which could for instance be equivalent to WET (“Western European Time”). What your parent comment is suggesting is a joke to come up with other definitions which would fit EST to other time zones. E.g. MST (“Mountain Standard Time”) could be EST (“Eagle Summer Time”).
