It was entame's birthday this Saturday, so episode came later than usual as everyone took the day off. Thanks for waiting!

While "mill" is not an official term in Yu-Gi-Oh!, it *is* widely-accepted as a universal TCG term since its use in Magic: The Gathering (which slightly predates the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG). Basically, every card player knows what that word means, so I think it's fine. Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS is a card game anime, so I believe the real-world game terms (both official and unofficial) belong just fine.
I was really into this TCG for a few years and tried out multiple other ones along the way. While I knew of the concept behind "milling" and even built a deck around it at some point, I had never heard it being called that before. Although the term is not self-explanatory at all due to its origin, its meaning can be easily deduced as all three scenes in this episode explicitly show the top card from the deck being put into the graveyard, so I think its usage here is not only fine, but also a good introduction to the term itself.
By the way, how can you handle watching this every week? I just searched the subtitle file for "mill", only watched the few seconds where the term was used and there was already more than enough nonsense for my taste: lazy animation, disgusting CG for the two dragons, unnecessary shouting of made-up attack/effect names with cringeworthy English pronunciation, the other characters on the sidelines saying one useless line each, the repeated bird sounds, and some retard screeching an apparently German word (twice), which I guess to be that character's "funny" quirk. It had been more than a decade since I last watched Yu-Gi-Oh! anything, as I completely dropped the franchise shortly after 5D's began, but I do not remember it being quite this bad back then.
@hozjiwpoo4jt221, I actually haven't really watched SEVENS yet, as I'm waiting for these guys to release the first BD batch, but I was part of RoadRush/SevensRoad subs for a bit (I technically still am, but we're dead atm, since there're no good sources yet).
