I cannot believe I am writing this post but I guess I am just picky.

Ok so - the software is sexy. But is sexy? Is sexy visually hot? Is it something really new? What exactly are we talking about here? Something can be new and visually hot and that is what I see as "sexy". I cannot see say embedding something on the Domino server as sexy because it is not a visual element.

Now - I know transferring this to the other version of sexy - referring to a sexy (insert sexual preference of mate here), this does not always have to do with the beauty on the outside. Sometimes, they can be somewhat mediocre visually but there is something about them that just make you crazy - thus makes you feel they are sexy. If this is what you are talking about as backend sexy then I understand that too.

So what do we call something that is implemented absolutely superbly but not necessarily new? Is it "sexy" or is it "hot" or maybe it just a "little hottie element". Not sure - of course part of this is tongue-in-cheek - but another part of this is truly trying to figure out the mnemonic to this new sexual side of software and code. Or is it defined? Or is this just cool slang? My problem is a usually insert the wrong thing when using new terms. I know this stems from noticing people using incorrect words and how much I feel embarrassed for them. I am sure I have even picked some some incorrect words for this post. It is nice when speaking to non-IT people that I use something that is universal across the industry.
