Overdosing on jargon

I recorded this episode during the summer break, on a topic close to my heart. Well, a topic on which I occasionally weigh in. We teachers tend to reward clarity; the red marker is brought out when we spot clichés and redundancies. But here's the thing. We - yes we grown-ups - are often tempted to toss in jargon into everyday speech. Even I catch myself in jargonizing mode. So in this episode I wanted to talk about the current crop of jargon that has been finding its way into our conversations. And yes, you can bet your bottom cryptocurrency I will use some these examples in my class this year.
