The Buzzword Bingo forum is a place to post examples of ludicrous, convoluted and meaningless buzzwords and marketing drivel dreamed up by those seeking to sound more important and meaningful than they actually are.

I have been waiting for this one a long time: CDP1802 9 Jul '12 - 1:17  It actually is not even a word, more a 'buzz syllable': App   'App' is very similar to the sound I make when punched with a fist, but obviously some marketing guys came to the conclusion that we all are only able to communicate with grunts and would not understand anything with more than one syllable. Anyway, I wonder how popular this 'word' is going to be when the gold rush finally is over. At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity Sign In·Permalink Re: I have been waiting for this one a long time: Richard Andrew x64 9 Jul '12 - 6:59  Couldn't agree more. I hate the syllable. Especially its pervasive use in so-called technical documentation such as the MSDN Library.   The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't. Sign In·Permalink
