I can't believe overload is leading the poll. A meter is decidedly not overloaded with an open circuit on resistance mode. The measurement however is certainly over limit. Over limit works for all modes.
Well, if you consider an Ohms measurement using a CC, then overload could be applied (somewhat reciprocally) that the open circuit voltage is being exceeded.
I agree over limit makes more sense, but my first intuition was that this terminology (among other generic terms) by chinglish translations.
Nonetheless, there are more conventions that we carry over by tradition rather than common sense. Otherwise the whole world would be using metric by now, and we certainly wouldn't have 0.635mm SOP packages that look like 0.65mm
