jargon filter
n.
An email program filter that has been configured to automatically delete incoming messages that contain certain jargon terms or buzzwords.
Example Citation:
"After more than six months of research on the words most hated by the media and those most commonly mis-used without definition or elaboration in technology company news releases, the Gable Group has launched jargonfreeweb.com to promote clarity in PR and provide a quick tool — the Jargonator — for measuring the jargon content of copy.
'The daily deluge is so bad many media have created bozo and jargon filters on their e-mail to automatically delete messages that contain words such as 'solutions, first, leading, cutting-edge, best, first mover, state-of-the-art, and end-to-end," said Gable.
