  Buzzword - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A buzzword (also known as a fashion word or vogue word) is an idiom, often a neologism, commonly used in managerial, technical, administrative, and sometimes political environments.
A buzzword may or may not appear in a dictionary, and if it does, its meaning as a buzzword may not match the conventional definition.
A generous view allows that buzzwords have the same function as jargon in scientific disciplines: newly-minted terms to describe new concepts, without the danger of over-simplification and confusion that can arise from using words and phrases with previously established, commonplace meanings.

 Buzzword - SourceWatch
Buzzword, as Merriam-Webster provides the definition, is "an important-sounding usually technical word or phrase often of little meaning used chiefly to impress laymen".
Buzzwords in this sense are a commercialized variant of Newspeak, used to reinforce a particular mindset, but one that is economic in nature, rather than political ("We'll cut 20% off our TCO by switching to UDDI and SOAP").
Very often the use of buzzwords extends far beyond any defensible use, such as an exhortation by a manager that a project be "37% Object-Oriented", or that a given project use Java and XML, whether or not these two technologies are the ideal solutions to the problem at hand.

 Away With Words: Jargon, Buzzword, or Hype?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
At its best, jargon is to ordinary language what a bouillon cube is to chicken soup: an intense linguistic nugget that flavors the entire conversation.
Where buzzwords are used to impress or mislead, jargon is used to communicate more efficiently and interestingly with others who share a similar level of knowledge and skills in a specific area.
Or, as Kathy claims, is it a legitimate bit of jargon that functions as a secret handshake among the cognoscenti?
