As a jazzer, personally I agree. I think the term "chorus" as jazz people use it is different from most other peoples and, yes, causes confusion.

But I'm not sure what other term one would use. Suggestions?
"Song" doesn't seem right because the Intro & outro are part of the song.
"Song body"? A bit clumsy.
"Body"? Maybe.
