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.

I added a specific rule to disallow saying “load bearing”. So Claude is now saying “load handling”

But have we found the seams yet though?

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.

We need a Samwise "Bear the load!" meme

Wait, why would it ruin it?
