Funny, I have also converged on shell scripts for simple scripting or configuration, but I use /bin/sh for portability. Many of the machines I use do not even have bash installed.

When i talk about my "bash" scripts, i mean sh. I assume this is the same forgp (tbh, i tend to use AWK over bash in 80% of cases, but i call it from bash anyway, and still call it bash scripting :/)

This makes me sad and sounds very naive. AWK is a fantastic language on its own and should be called out when used as such.
Yep I'm the same. I just call it bash. I think old habits die hard.
