Their hearts and sentiments were free, their appetites were hearty.

Robust.

I hate that word!  Ok, I don't hate it, but I strongly disapprove of the way it's been misused recently.  "Robust tool," "robust system," "robust software platform," "robust this," "robust that."  It's killing me!

I hold that robust should be used for
1. Men
2. Coffee
3. Beer
and in that order.

I'm done.
