I have a strong dislike, to the point of never using, things like:
"Plec" - as either use pick or plectrum, plec is just a horrible word
"Axe" - it's not an axe. end of.
"stompbox" - that's the kind of phrase my mum would use but I've never really heard a proper guitarist use. It's just an effects pedal.
What are your guitar term bugbears?
Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

"Rig" - I don't work on an oil platform

"Plays like butter" - soft, squidgy and smelling faintly of cow juice?
I don't know why, I just hate the word. I much prefer 'sound'.
