having worked at an international myself I can feel your pain with buzzwords. To get around them I just began using counter buzz words. For instance when some said we have to "get all of our ducks in a row" I would say "yeah, that'll make them easier to shoot" . Or if someone said "we need to make sure we're on the same page" I would counter with "Same page!? Half of us aren't even reading the same book!"

It didn't stop anyone but it sure was fun.
