{{one source section|date=February 2024}}
The origin of buzzwords can be seen in {{harvtxt|Hallgren|Weiss|1946}} as coming from [[business student]]s studying at [[Harvard University]] as a way to help them gain better results from their studies. Such language terms were collated{{by whom|date=February 2024}} and then became what is known today as "buzzwords". During the early years of buzzwords{{when|date=February 2024}}, buzzwords were used by students as a means to enable them to quickly recall items of importance. As an example, "If his analysis does not highlight the most important problems he has 'poor focus', and if he fails to emphasize important recommendations he will be accused of 'tinkering'. If the sequence for the 'implementation' of the recommendations is not good it is a matter of 'poor timing'. To succeed, the student must 'get on top of the problem'. He must 'hit the problem' and not 'shadow box' it. If he cannot do these things he might just as well 'turn in his suit'".{{sfn|Hallgren|Weiss|1946|p=263}}

Students have used many different buzzwords to describe the situation that they are in, and how this might affect a moment in their everyday life. From studying these business students, {{harvtxt|Hallgren|Weiss|1946}} noticed that business students could speak with apparent authority. It also seemed{{to whom|date=February 2024}} as if using the right buzzword was more important than what the student came up with as an answer. Buzzwords have a strong influence on business culture and are commonly used in business speak.
