Jargon spamming

Jargon Based Life Form

A human that is quite ambitious and works in private industry and speaks excessively in odd industry terms. These individuals are typically middle management all the way to the top of companies and they constantly spout statements that are popular at the time, jargon and specific to whatever is in fashion in their industry. A good example as of early 2026 would be the CEO of a massive burger restaurant chain taking a tiny bite of a cheese burger and calling it a "product." Suspiciously avoiding any language that may cause the viewer to think the product was actually food.

Investigations indicate that all MBA students are trained to be Jargon Based Life Forms.

I was shocked to be the only non jargon based life form in that board meeting.

Apple Jargon

Talking or writing in an understated way to give the impression that something is 'revolutionary' all the while not giving out any real specific details just the way Apple always does. A similar technique is used by teachers, they talk really quietly when they want everyone's attention.

The user must use the word 'cool' a lot or 'neat' etc. See any presentation involving Steve Jobs for an example. Apple jargon has now extended to Google and Bing and even journalists that write about Google, Bing and Apple. Other feautures; the user must be so arrogant to assume that everybody already uses some of their technology. Using words like fun and neat also helps!

Apple/Google/Bing: Hey, wouldn't it be cool if you could have all your documents in one place wherever you went? Well now you can with Apple/Google/Bing ***. How does it work? Well, that's the fun part, you just put all your documents...

Journalist: Hey, this week we'll be looking at another cool feature on your iphone that maybe you haven't used yet. (Oh wait.. I don't have a f***ing i-phone and I don't want one!!)

Apple/Google/Bing: What is social search? Hmm.. It's pretty darn neato. All you have to do is put all your contacts in your profile and... (Oh wait.. I don't have one of your f***ing profiles and I don't want one!!)

Apple/Google/Bing: The cool part of all this is the fun algorithm we have running the whole thing which looks at.. (Wait.. wait.. will you say how it works?! Like hell you will! You'll just continue using Apple Jargon!)

garbage-jargon

noun - cliquey slang, characterized by acronyms, misspellings and replacement of letters with numbers and other symbols. The phenomenon originated in occasional use by hacker culture and, much like everything else on the Internet, poseurs and wannabes have destroyed its original charm through overuse and audacity.
