That anon doesn't know what he's talking about since zoom climbing doesn't make you go fast. It does the exact opposite. Zoom climbing is not sustainable and rapidly slows the plane down as its speed is converted into potential energy. It's basically suicide if a hostile aircraft is anywhere near weapon range when you try to do it. It is neat to watch at airshows, and that's probably where he heard the term.
