Does anyone else hate that term "technical debt"? It reminds me of "codependent" and "codependency" -- which, every time I hear them, I have to think through what it is exactly that they mean. I've decided that in the case of "codependency" a much more intuitive term would be "enabling behavior".

What is an intuitive replacement for "technical debt"? I think "slapdash code" would convey the notion more effectively.
