jargon
(noun)

Examples of jargon in the following topics:
-

- Another barrier is "knowledge-appropriate" communication–using ambiguous legal words or medical jargon with another person who doesn't understand them.
- Individual linguistic ability is important to consider: will intended targets understand industry-specific jargon, complex words, or colloquialisms?
-

- The visual scorecard gives stakeholders a clear understanding that jargon and business-speak may not.
-
The Nature of Efficient Communication
- The purpose informs choices of style and tone such as whether or not to use technical language or industry jargon.
-
Setting Objectives
- Strategic management jargon sometimes refers to "Big Hairy Audacious Goals" (BHAGs) in this context.
-
Ethics in Organizational Communications
- In these tools, the use of corporate jargon should be limited; its content should be easily accessible for both internal and external stakeholders.
