Jordan, while agreeing on everything, I consider the term "script kiddie" to be very usefull.
It is usefull to decribe a certain type of attack: basically an automated attack by an uneducated user. It can be characterised by using a preprogrammed tool (the script) without any knowledge of what is actually going on. "Script kiddies" are normally attacking on well known exploits, and can normally be kept off guard by basically changing a smal implementation detail and/or having competent administrators.
