Are you talking about corporate jargon? Intentionally vague and used by people to try to sound smart. I always ask what someone means when they use it because they could have just used clear and normal language.

I appreciate that someone could tell I didn’t mean to be super broad.

Jargon definitely falls under the umbrella I was pointing at. Communication among co-workers. Managers. Etc.

The whole style feels cold to me. And impersonal. And I hate it. Jargon can definitely play a role. But I’m also ok with certain types that actually do make communication flow smoother. But yeah, the vapid jargon that masks a lack of understanding, curiosity or humility is a bummer.
