Heard it a different way:
Common sense ... the curse in disguise: Because if you have it, you're doomed to live with those that don't!

Reminds me of my MBA studies. Yes, business school is the study of common sense (in a capitalist society).

There sure are more of them than we think. The poor guys have been used as code monkeys and stuffed full with rules and conventions. Then, when they finally invented something on their own, they are proud of their unique solution and don't waste any time on thinking about why nobody else does it quite this way. At least not until some wise guy comes along and declares the grand idea to be a code horror. Then they fall back to their old line of defense, which would be patterns, rules and conventions. If you don't break any rules, your solution can't possibly be bad.
I need a perfect, to the point answer as I am not aware of this.

That sort-of like the people who "round to 2 decimal places" by converting the number to a string, truncating the end, and converting back to a number.

You want to tell me that this is not the way it's usually done?

You mean those with the Json/XML/whatnot backing? As if they're "proud" to convert back-n-forth with this "stringly typed".

varchar(50), to be precise.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

That needs a soft reset.

I would say that the programmer who did that needs some percussive maintenance (AKA a slap upside the head). 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Here's one... how about Optimized (finally fixed the damn thing from being a memory hog during the POC phase, removing old commented out code, etc.)

What character flaw drives some people to create new terms to describe things which are already perfectly well described by existing - and usually simpler - terms?

Agile : no spec, no documentation, no schedule, bill until the customer/project runs out of money.
Sprint : Work feverishly for a week, then move the uncompleted tasks back into the queue for a future sprint. Iterate by making tasks smaller and sprints longer.
Stand-up : Group therapy -- feel good about what little you got done, feel enthusiastic about what grand things you plan on getting done, hug at the end.
Scrum : same as a stand-up but more sweat from unbathed coders coming off their sprint, ra-ra enthusiasm from management, and project paraphernalia on display - mugs, T-shirts mainly.
