When I'm reading a book about a serious topic and the authors of the book choose to use vague terms for things.

I'm reading a book right now where the people use the phrase "value attribution" instead of "evaluation."  They also use the term "commitment" to refer to some people's tendency to adhere blindly to the theories and ideas that they've adopted.

I also hate when people use the term "rational" to describe decisions people would make if they were omniscient or lack any values or context apart from the one assumed by the people describing the decision.
