Sorry to say, but Wikipedia has the whole meaning totally wrong. The term is derived from the Japanese word Bokeh-aji, which means "The flavour of the out of focus", or Quality of out of focus/blur.
To me it has always been, and will always be about the actual quality of background blur, not just calling anything blurry bokeh. When I say "beautiful bokeh" in my comments I always mean that it is very pleasing to the eye and of very high quality. To get a good shot with nice creamy bokeh is an art form in itself. (even though I have seen many with "fake" bokeh also).
BTW, I have been using this term for many, many years now. For myself, I don't see it being used any more than in the past, but i do see it being used wrongly, as in the Wikipedia type definition.
