Ah, my dictionary has buzz word but dictionary.com has it as one word. Is this medication a proprietary name?
Buzzword is one word, according to Webster's Third. (There was a time when buzzword itself was a buzzword.)

The medication (XYZ) is not a proprietary name.

For IRW, airwaves.
EWP - viewpoint

software and shotgun are much better... catgut is made of animal intestines, used to make string/cord for musical instruments and tennis rackets, and passline (according to dictionary.com) is officially NOT a word haha. i didn't know if the term from craps was a single word, or two separate ones. also i didn't think leftward was a word, but i just verified from dictionary.com that it's fine.

still, software and shotgun are great 🙂
