At least in science nobody says "junk" DNA anymore, it's "non-coding" dna for the last 20 years or so.

The only molecular biologist I know is happy to use the term "junk DNA," at least when talking to us non-practitioners. I can't imagine the term is a source of friction.

I wouldn't say friction, it's more like a little guide to figure out when you graduated :)

I was taught “junk” around 10 years ago. Shit, that makes me feel old.
