I also strongly dislike when people are trying to forcefully push those kinds of terms onto broader public.

Last one I disliked was "grok", at least this one was killed by existence of Elon's "clanker" in a similar way that "Adolf" stopped being a popular name.

Grok is great, it carries a lot of useful signal: either you are self-important, or you are enamored by what’s-his-name; either way, I can choose to care less about your words. For me though, it’s a reserved word per RFC-Michael-from-Mars, held in a special inside place, and so maybe this is just a Me problem.
