I cringe when I hear "it works"! In particular, because it's often followed by "but I don't know how". I can't even count the number of times I have reviewed code, spotted something questionable, approached the author about it, and heard "but it works!" Well if my analysis is correct it shouldn't so one of us is obviously wrong. Unfortunately, in my experience, they usually expect the conversation to be over after "but it works"...
