The original meaning of agile, the manifesto, was doing it right. The consultants jumped on the bandwagon and called themselves agile until it stuck. But I don't think the right response is to say agile is now bad, it's to reclaim the word from those who're misusing it.

Good luck.
I don't think a missused word was ever reclaimed, in any language. But while you are on that path, can you do something about "hacker" too? (Or maybe you should start with the easier, less valuable "ordinary" and "literaly".)

My impression of the original Agile project (C2), from reading their wiki, was that it was an attempt to make their customer feel really bad that they were incapable of lasting a week without changing the requirements.
Also, didn't the project fail? Though, in a way where it actually got partially deployed.
