Yes, although I find the phrase "evolution by jerks," to be humorous... Given the fact that too many creationists falsely believe that punctuated equilibrium is the same as the hopeful monster theory, I sometimes choose not to use the term, so as not to get the same canned creationists arguments against hopeful monsters.
Howzabout if you patiently explained the difference to them?
For scientists and academics, intellectual one-upmanship is part of the game, and for some a source of pride and fun; but for those "in the real world", it just comes across as being an insufferable prick.
Cheers!
