A comment on Entrepreneur is a silly word, and you sound silly when you call yourself one.

It's one of those words that somehow become a status symbol and lose their meaning.

Like, well, hacker: I cringe every time someone writes "hacker" in his/her bio without stuff to show for it. Usually it's UI developers, I don't know why.

All around, I started to discard every word that comes with this burden. Words should convey information, not a self blowjob.

UI developers can certainly be hackers. There are probably plumbers who are brilliant hackers. Consider "Hackers and Painters", by pg. Superb book.
