I still pronounce it as "n-jinx" in my head.

I look forward to the day when all these lame-ass, insider naming conventions are looked down upon as the stupid things they are.

Wtf does "en jinx" or "engine X" have to do with it's functionality?

I hate looking for an app on my phone that does a particular thing but hell if I can recall what the idiot developed called it.
