Episode Synopsis

In this episode of One Word, we wade through the wonderful mess of gobbledegook — the overstuffed, overly complicated language that clutters up our communication. From the corporate boardroom to social media buzzwords, we explore how jargon gets in the way of clarity, masks confusion as intelligence, and often leaves meaning behind. And just when you think you've heard it all, we throw in a bonus word: maverick. Learn how a stubborn Texan cattle rancher gave rise to a word we now use for trailblazers and rebels. It's a wordy ride through nonsense and nuance — and maybe, by the end, you’ll think twice before using “synergy” unironically.
