“What we really represent is an awareness raising campaign against lazy language.” Balancing serious commentary and tongue-and-cheek humor, the season finale of Museum Buzz ends with a conversation about...buzzwords! Together with Jim Fishwick from the Australian Centre for the Moving Image and Tilly Boleyn from the Science Gallery Melbourne, we reflect on the notion of buzzwords: what they really communicate, why we use them, and how they evolve. I wanted to reach out to Jim and Tilly after reading their 2016 Medium.com article ‘Six Museum Words to Make You Vomit,’ where they coined a new buzzword: musevom, and even created Musevom Bingo! Thanks for listening to the first season and stay tuned for season two!
