Is it really the buzzwords that bother people?
Or is it the clueless people using the buzzwords? In my mind the difference between slang and buzzwords is a slang word has a meaning even if only to a few. While the buzzword is often meaningless no matter how many times you turn it over. It is often being used by someone who either thinks it is clever or they can manipulate the audience with it. Maybe I'm wrong.

Many of the buzzwords mentioned in the previous discussion don't bother me. What bothers me is when the boss thinks the buzzword is a motivator or a deal closer. Even then I usually find it humorous rather than bothersome.

For me conversation is about conveying meaning. I work with several people for whom english is their second language. To understand them you have to try to think like them. And vice versa.

Just my 2 cents.
