For [many] other uses: it can be a doorkeeper, a railroad employee passenger assistant on trains, a member of staff in English colleges, and also the name of a Canadian airline...well that's beyond the point, I understand what a porter means but they are actually referencing the other stuff in this world and I'm just pointing that out.

While you may be correct, there's no denying that PopCap has referenced other games in their games in the past and this may be a nod to those media (since this world is based on such a theme that those media reflects and they are quite popular).
