I’ve been seeing «cargo cult» being used to describe various habits and answers to questions – most often as a disparaging response to something like «well, we’ve always done it that way» – even the Jargon File includes «A Story About ‘Magic’» about not messing with things of which you know not
I’ve certainly got my own collection of habits and superstitions, my personal «cargo cult» – probably the main one is avoiding the number ‹4› and preferring the number ‹5› – the roots of this are a combination of Japanese views of ‹4› being bad luck (even though I have no east Asian heritage or ancestry) and Discordians viewing ‹5› as a holy number (even though I’m pretty much a non-practicing Discordian)
