I have been cringing every time I see/hear the word "disrupt" (in its various forms) for a couple years now. In pretty much all cases, the more often a given person uses that word, the more vapid I come to think they are.

[yoodenvranx]

"disrupt" is for startups/VC what "beautiful" is for Javascript/CSS frameworks.

[trhway]

and "delightful" for user experience

[jkestner]

"Trying to mass-produce [delight] and inject it into interactions is like forcing waiters to wear 37 pieces of flair on their uniforms." http://www.fastcodesign.com/3042849/delightful-interaction-d...

[jrockway]

It will be beautiful when we disrupt the use of the word delight.

[foolfoolz]

"elegant" for libraries

[api]

Delightfully beautiful elegant disruption.

[gfodor]

truly, the worst of all

[areyouforreal]

Amen to both of these.

[jwiley]

"bespoke"

Don't forget 'a joy to work with'.

Sounds like a line from a new episode of HBO's Silicon Valley.

[kuyan]

also "elegant".

[glitcher]

simple, clean, lightweight

Can I add "hackers" and "hustlers" to the cringe list please?

[jessaustin]

Not on Hacker News you can't.

I'm with you 100%. Both terms just feel shallow.
