I came here to write something along these lines.

@alexharrison it sounds like it actually is a synonym for "clean code" or "readable code." Personally, I think I would choose those other terms as you described because they're more down to earth. The problem is, by calling my friend's code "not elegant" it makes the person kinda sound like a jerk because it makes it sound like they are expecting too much, when in reality, maybe my friend needs some tips on his code. Whereas, saying "You know, your code is messy/sloppy/not concise/needs to be refactored/isn't very readable to others" I feel like the advice is more... "actionable?"
