Seymour Cray never said "performant". Engineers say "fast" or "fast enough". Marketing types and nontechnical management seem to prefer this neologism. But it might also be a generational thing.

A new coinage that I noticed in the past year that also grates on my ears: "learning" as a substitute for "lesson", as in "what were your learnings from the hackathon?" Anyone else caught this one?
