Ah, the controversial hamburger icon. I have taken to calling it the 'Junk Drawer' myself because it is the place where you put everything that you can't think of a better way to represent in the UI. I think it has a place, but it is overused as a solution to create a clean UI because it makes it easy to meet the requests from different stakeholders to include a variety of functionality.

I find it interesting that they were thinking of it in a very similar way based on this quote from the article "In your garage organization, there’s always a bucket for miscellaneous. You’ve got nuts and bolts and screws and nails, and then, stuff, miscellaneous stuff. That’s kind of what the hamburger menu button was."
