BBS (n.)

BBS is buzzword blending syndrome (not bulletin board service, the very first bbs in tech-speak). BBS is when someone in your company loves to take already overused buzz words and mangle them into one sentence. Some of the most overused terms are “face time,” “spin” and “end of the day,” but there are dozens more. Here’s BBS in action: “I found some face time with George to review his fast-tracking of the Dorfman project.”
