Buzzword
Definition
A trendy word or phrase that is used more to impress than explain.
Information
A buzzword may be a newly-coined word or an old word used in a new way.
Buzzwords are part of the fashion of a living language, more about style than substance.
Some buzzwords are actually useful for a period of time, but the object they
describe eventually becomes less useful. Other buzzwords are simply confusing
or inaccurate from Day 1.
A buzzword spends only a fraction of its life being used; the rest of
the time it is being abused. The result is a phenomenon known as buzzword
backlash, whereby the tide turns against a buzzword and it starts to fade
from usage.
