Marketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.

Thanks to simbosan for the idea

I believe
The Descendents brought the "-age" suffix into popular culture at least 15 years before it was used in the Buffyverse.

And people's mannerisms and vocabulary patterns are formed from everything that influences them, and sometimes that includes television programmes.

But then, there are phrases I use semi-regularly that I've glommed from a TV show that began airing a decade before I was born, so of course I'm going to defend this practice.
