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.
