I'm not wishy washy, but I am acceptable to change. This post made me think; in the computer industry, people do the same thing.
I know, I work as a systems programmer for a large aerospace company. The new buzzwords come around all the time to describe things we've been doing for years. Then they are replaced by new terms that mean the same thing. It's silly.

Maybe the posters on this board could come up with some great terms that sound really complicated to describe simple concepts.

How about, "maintaining sufficient and appropriate duration of time and focus on offensive spherical projectile launcher?" That means "stay with shooter."
