I don't mind using big words and hearing them when they are more precise than the common word.

The buzzword around here that took me forever to understand is the word "metric". It can mean either a measurement, or the method by which something is measured. Because it has two very similar and related, yet different meanings it is less precise than using the word "measurement" or the term "how to measure". For example, if someone asks me "Do you have those metrics?", they might be asking if I have some data, or if I have decided how to go about sampling the data. I never use the term.
