It's a good metaphor and I refuse to let AI ruin it for me.
I added a specific rule to disallow saying “load bearing”. So Claude is now saying “load handling”
Kids In The Hall had a sketch about overuse of a word or phrase [1]. This is the world that Claude is building for us.
It doesn't have to ruin it for you, but people are going to assume comments with it are AI generated.
Years ago, when I worked at Stripe (which had a somewhat unique and inventive lexicon) it was a common term. “Is this jank load-bearing?” someone might ask.
