If we go back a few years, nobody called stuttering framerates "lagging". It was a networking term. The reason why the word is used now for all kind of slowness is because some people at some point misunderstood what others meant when they were speaking of (network) lag. In this case misunderstanding didn't lead to false understanding, because lag has a broader meaning, but I think JustLuke is pointing out that it isn't a good excuse for being stupid.
The truth is that the purpose of language is getting understood. To be understood by the masses, you have to speak the language of the masses.
Sorry about this, I've been sleeping 4 hours a night lately... :)
