People start using cliched buzzwords because they hear other busniess-y people using them and they want to talk to those business-y people in their own vernacular.

But I think, deep down, almost everybody using these buzzwords hates the buzzwords.

Yet we end up converging to this terrible prisoners-dillema equilibrium where all the business people start code-switching to talk like buzzword-assholes and hate themselves for it but they do't realize we could all just agree to stop doing it and we'd all be happier.
