What do you think of when you hear this word being used.

In my experience, it appears to be people "associated" with some form of sales in IT.

Might help if you put a poll up and not just the blurb that goes with it

We'll some form of error happened when I posted originally
Now it doesn't let you add a poll, or delete the post.

So the choices would be

Perfectly acceptable word - I use it all the time

Never used it and don't ever intend to

I automatically think You're a **** for using that word in a sentence

Acceptable word, but I wouldn't expect to see it in a technical report.

When enquiring about the content of a book or DVD, "What does it say in the blurb?" is rather less formal than "What do the notes say on the dustjacket?"

Not an IT salesperson though.

I have most commonly seen it used in the phrase 'sales blurb' Like the info
you get over a car ad or any other product on TV or in a magazine.

I think it means your not taking their sales pitch too seriously.
It's been around for as long as I can remember & I am OLD!!!

You see, but thats exactly how it was used.

In an IT technical specification document

It was also used by the same sales person within 5 minutes when trying to sell upscaled hosting facilities to a customer.
