I've found myself holding a bit of chagrin at the term 'technical debt' lately as well, mostly because it feels like saying it, pointing to it, quantifying it, and shoving 'it' under people's noses and proving its there (not to mention the usual ceremonies of what I'd like to do about it) isn't doing me any favors anymore.
And at that point....
....I don't know that simply calling it something else is going to help.
Yes I'm a bit jaded, grab a drink, next one's on me
