Another word that should be squashed like a pesky bug

A California Republican rising star -- that rarest of specimens -- is squaring off against a veteran Democratic politician and policy wonk in the race for state controller.
From the San Jose Mercury News

Wonk. It was a word used to describe Clinton (the other one) back in the whenever. I'd never heard it before then. Once was enough. Why won't they just shut up about wonks? I don't know what it (really) means and I don't (really) care.

Geek is OK, wonk is just dumb. (I know, I know.)
