WTF is a Vega?

Ok let's see if I can start a thread that hasn't been discussed in some way here on GC.

So I was reading a job description and I came across this:

-Must have Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, etc.)

so my first thought was "LOL there is no vega" but then i wondered if there was possibly another context where the word vega is greek that i somehow missed.

anyway i found nothing so im wondering if this is what it appears to be at face value- a hilarious mistake, or is there something else?

Personally i just think they took words that rhymed. lol.
