Hah!

"Responsive", as a descriptive term, is completely meaning-free. It's
a buzzword. Anything can be "responsive". You used some CSS media
queries? Welp, guess it's responsive then. Or maybe you used some
conditionals to make it look better on phones? Must be responsive. Or
maybe you have it change as the window width changes? Or designed it
specially for an iPad? Looks great on a Kindle? Yep, all "Responsive".

Most overused buzzword in web design ever. And I include "Web 2.0" in
that assessment.
