Too funny. I just finished a conference call that was so full of buzzwords that the conversation could have come from this app. Perhaps because I'm involved with a lot of consulting, I may be particularly exposed to this language abuse.
I still remember an article in the Harvard Business Review from the mid-70's that could be just as timely today. I still bristle when I hear buzzwords form that ear such as "quantify" (the word is "measure"), "impact" (the word is affect), etc.
I think both of my professions (law and economics) use jargon to try to give the impression of precision and esoteric knowledge. Bah humbug!

I love this site!
EDIT: Sounds like the definition of the Drudge Report.

Is there any way to hook this up to PowerPoint? The coup de grace, so to speak?
Modern corporate life (and most climbing writing): A horde of superlative adjective chasing after a noun, any noun, to give them some meaning.
