An ex-coworker introduced the rule that every time someone said "You just..." he increased his estimation by 1 level (standard fibonacci planning poker).

That was like 15 years ago and I've at least mentioned that rule to every team I've been a part of ever since. It usually works.

I try to avoid "just" during planning. I just [lol] use it during code reviews.
