Buzzwords.  They exist all over Tech and quite often are overused in the industry by more and more people including Solution Architects and CSMs.  However, the use of buzzwords is not worded out of malice but more by convenience.  This episode was requested by the audience who asked/suggested we discuss not using buzzwords as much as possible replacing well thought out responses.
