Buzzword is a tell used to spot someone for being scummy because they are using "buzzwords" to advance a case instead of looking at motivation.

Common buzzwords are;

OMGUS

WIFOM

Appeal to Emotion

Flailing

Defensive

IIoA

Buzzword

Et al.


Why is it scummy?

Buzzwords are considered scummy because, it is possible to just toss out a couple of them in a stream and have it look bad for whoever is being attacked.

"Oh, you're just Flailing and offering IIoA!"

Boom, insta-lynch!

They tend to allow scum to sound like they're scumhunting without actually working too hard nor putting together an actual and sensible case.

Buzzword *is* a Buzzword - the Universe Implodes!

Thor665 has advanced the theory that 'Buzzword' is itself a Buzzword, therefore it is now possible for scum to acheive an easy lynch on someone by indicating that they are using buzzwords and the buzzword of buzzword will get them lynched. This is very meta and theoretically if taken to its ultime ending will actually consume the world and end the universe.

Don't operate buzzwords while intoxicated, just to be safe.
