Mine is - Algorithm. Ever since people have learned some of the inner workings of how content is suggested to them, that became the new spammed word that easily got exhausted within the week of it being used.

Yeah, an algorithm does indeed pitch you things of what to watch or listen to. But there’s more going on than that, but people all the time just stop at that word and expect everyone to suddenly understand it. Sadly, most people just buy it at face value.

    Krusty: So he’s proactive, huh?

    Network Executive Lady: Oh, God, yes. We’re talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.

    Writer: Excuse me, but “proactive” and “paradigm”? Aren’t these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I’m accusing you of anything like that… [pause] …I’m fired, aren’t I?

    Roger Meyers, Jr.: Oh, yes. [gets up to leave] The rest of you writers start thinking up a name for this funky dog - I don’t know, something along the lines of, say, “Poochie”, only more proactive!

    Krusty: Yeah!
