Latest overused buzzword: silos. Things, or people, are in silos or feel as though they were. (see: compartmentalize, vertical market, isolation, etc.)

Should we compose a jargon bingo card from words we heard a lot at this conference? I'm actually happy that 'silos' has hit saturation, because I remember when it was too esoteric for most people and we _needed_ to be talking about the segregation of knowledge. So hey, let's get jaded about it!

'Value-added' hasn't gotten old enough for it to GO AWAY. I wish it would.

I'm totally serious that we need to either make a jargon bingo card from this year to be used at next, or write a predictive jargon bingo card _before_ next year. Can we put 'centennial' on our jargon bingo card for next year? How about 'black tie optional?'
