To be fair i would consider a glitch to be closer to a ghost causing it than a lazy developer.

I consider a "bug" to be something caused by the code (bad error handling, bad logic, etc) and a "glitch" to be something more random or environmental

Yes! Agreed. But for some reason, the only word everyone uses these days is "glitch". And I don't know why, but that really fries my grits.
