Well it's not accurate, but when most people say "fundamentalist", they really just mean "conservative evangelical".

And even though I used to be a fairly common offender, I too am growing someone annoyed at using "fundamentalist" or "fundie" simply as shorthand for "conservative evangelical".

It wouldn't be quite as irritating if people would realize that the group included as "fundies" were very far from homogeneous. I found some pretty out there site a couple weeks ago that had a whole section devoted to "exposing" what was described as "false prophets leading false churches that teach a perversion of the Gospel, etc. etc." with little blurbs about why they were so terrible. Well they were actually about 85% other evangelicals (mostly prosperity theology proponents and leaders of some rather legalistic Pentecostal sects), 10% people who are basically cult leaders, and 5% that could be described as "liberal" by any loose sense of the term (and this is counting Rick Warren as a "liberal".)
