innovative

A word that was once used to be used to describe things that are new, and different. Now it's just marketing term that is used to describe pretty much everything, regardless of whether or not it deserves to be called innovative.

Gee, I didn't know that can openers are innovative.

innovation

Doing the same old pointless thing a different way. Alternatively, creating something brilliant in such a way that it takes twice as long and costs three times as much as the old fashioned way of doing the same thing.

Bob: Hey, let's make a wheel!
Bub: Well, we'll have to draft a budget submission, then set up a steering party, develop a business plan then publish a prospectus. I'm guessing we'll need a couple of million plus a three year window for the R & D alone ...
