Argh! (Mis)use of the term "mashup"

Never mind about the argument over whether we should express Asynchronous JavaScript and XML in writing as "AJAX" or "Ajax". I'm more worried about the rampant misuse of the MP3-ish "mashup", which is supposed to mean the intuitive marriage of two musical tracks, where as "mash-up" is supposed to be Web 2.0-style hybrid application programming.

See my previous comments on erroneously using "mashup", and a good piece on "remixing".
