Could be both, Future Slang is actually broader than it sounds (Star Wars and some fantasy examples are included), Language Drift could be included if the game shows or implies the background for how those terms evolved.

Different World, Different Movies seems to be exclusively for media; though Hypnospace has examples of that trope too, i don't think this particular case counts. from the looks of the examples on Future Slang, i think it probably fits best there (another Alternate History example, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, is listed). it doesn't explain how the slang diverged but since Hypnospace is Like Reality, Unless Noted it isn't super difficult to imagine
