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.

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

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

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

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

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

Not on Hacker News you can't.

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