I will never like the word "grooming" in relation to tickets.

@ainmosni I see the point - it's just sometimes hard to abandon learned speech patterns. I'll try to switch though.

Cool, note that I'm not blaming anyone who uses it, for exactly the reason you described, just that it never felt right for me.

@ainmosni in my team we use "refinement". But the trend in the English language of abandoning words because they became euphemisms for something else or are used in a negative way in some contexts is also problematic.

@jmcs Fair point, I think it depends on just how dominant the euphemism becomes.
