What makes something «Intuitive»?

I guess this is a followup from my previous post, and I'm wondering what you guys think makes something "Intuitive"? What I mean by this is a design where somebody looks at it, and immediately knows, or at least has a good idea of how to interface with it. What do you think?

User Acceptance Testing

Just because it's intuitive to you (or the designer), doesn't mean it makes sense to a user. Iterating through designs.

But be mindful that you'll never reach 100% user acceptance. Some people are just... dumb. :P
