Smile When You Say, ‘Intuitive’

On her Facebook wall, Cindy launched a discussion by posting: "'Intuitive' is my new least favorite word. Often used by tech people when trying to explain a new program/system." that prompted Sisyphus to respond: "Apple loves that word. It's like in elementary school when your teacher thinks the answer is obvious, when her question has at least a half dozen right answers." And Kerri Thoreson: "'robust' is on my irritating words list unless describing a fit and handsome man, that is."

Question: Do you have a new least favorite word?
