from the less-buzzwords,-more-buzz dept

Buzzwords v Jargon
Don;t confuse Buzzwords with jargon. Buzzwords *never* have content. Jargon almost always does. many buzzwords start their life as jargon but become so abused that they lose all meaning. (Though I must admit to being doubtful if most management or venture capitalist buzzwords *ever* had any meaning!)
