There's something to this but calling "grow" a buzzword is misguided. Some of the list (which anyone could just search for themselves, the list is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_buzzwords) is only in context. "Grow a business" and similar uses is buzzwordy. But don't call my writing buzzwordy because I used the word "grow" c'mon!

The rest of the list is actually worth including.

Haha. Thanks for your feedback. I think I will remove the word "grow" unless I can find a way to determine and judge the context in which it's used.

Because of this I have tripled the number of buzzwords in my business documents, thereby convincing the boss that I am a goddamn genius. My promotion takes effect tomorrow. Thanks, Buzz-Grade!
