Editing Buzzword (section)

==Definition==
The ''[[Concise Oxford English Dictionary]]'' defines a buzzword (hyphenating the term as ''buzz-word'') as a [[slogan]], or as a fashionable piece of [[jargon]]: a chic, fashionable, voguish, trendy word [[a la mode]].

It has been asserted that buzzwords do not simply appear, they are created by a group of people working within a business as a means to generate hype.{{sfn|Collins|2000}} Buzzwords are most closely associated with management and have become the vocabulary that is known as "management speak": Using a pompous or magisterial term, of or relating to a particular subject employed to impress those outside of the field of expertise.

It could also be called [[buzz phrase]] or [[loaded word]].<ref name=":0" />

What this means is that when a manager uses a said buzzword, most other people do not hear the meaning, and instead just see it as a buzzword. However it has been said that buzzwords are almost a "necessary evil" of management, as a way to inspire their team, but also stroke their own egos.{{sfn|Cluley|2013}} With that being said, a buzzword is not necessarily a bad thing, as many disciplines thrive with the introduction of new terms which can be called buzzwords. These can also cross over into pop culture and indeed even into everyday life.{{sfn|Collins|2000}} With media channels now operating through many media, such as television, radio, print and increasingly digital (especially with the rise of social media), a "buzzword" can catch on and rapidly be adapted through the world.
