I think that if the explanation doesn't also convey the spookiness, it's not right.

>The actual mechanism by which this occurs is only "spooky" if you try and interpret it classically. But if you just accept that "hey, it's quantum mechanics" then it's very easy to understand.

That's just pushing the spookiness under the carpet.

The original phrase is spooky action at a distance, which has been summarised as spookiness. Actual spookiness notwithstanding, the most important thing really is that there is no action at a distance.
