  description

  Buzzwords, meet your Buzzkill.
  
  It's the Gmail extension that hunts down corporate jargon, the synergies, the circle-backs, the low-hanging fruit, and translates it all back into plain English. It highlights them as you read, warns you before you send your own, and ranks the worst offenders in your inbox.
  
  Free, no account, and 100% local. Nothing you read or write ever leaves your browser.
  
  SEE THE JARGON WHEN YOU READ
  Open any email and the buzzwords light up. Hover for a plain-English definition, click to swap a phrase for what the person actually meant, or flip one switch to translate the whole email at once.
  
  CATCH YOURSELF BEFORE YOU SEND
  Start a draft and Buzzkill counts the jargon in real time. Try to send with buzzwords still in it and a guard stops you. Hit "Swap all to plain English" for a one-tap rewrite, or send anyway. Clean sends build a streak. Leaks reset it.
  
  RANK YOUR INBOX
  Every sender gets scored by how much jargon they use and how senior it sounds, from Intern to Executive, with a worst-offenders leaderboard. Finally, proof of who talks like a press release.
  
  MAKE IT A GAME
  Buzzword Bingo deals you a 5x5 card that marks itself as real emails use the phrases. Fill a line to win, then chase the achievements, the 7-day recap, and a shareable rank card.
  
  YOUR EMAIL STAYS YOURS
  No servers, no API calls, no analytics. Buzzkill reads your open email and your draft only to do its job, entirely inside the page, and keeps your stats on your machine. Nothing is ever transmitted, sold, or seen by anyone but you.
  
  601 phrases and counting, across email, meetings, startup, sales, consulting, HR, finance, and tech speak. Add it to Chrome and stop operationalizing your learnings.

  Synergy. Circle back. Low-hanging fruit. Let's take this offline. If your inbox reads like a press release, Buzzkill is here to save you from becoming corporate loser. 
  
  It highlights the corporate buzzwords in Gmail and your LinkedIn feed, tells you what they actually mean, catches your own before you hit send, and keeps a running leaderboard of the worst offenders. All of it happens inside your browser. Nothing ever leaves.
  
  SAVE YOUR INBOX AND FEED FROM CORPORATE BUZZWORDS
  Open an email and the jargon lights up. Hover any highlight for a plain-English translation, click to swap the phrase for what the person actually meant, or flip one switch to translate the whole email at once. The same thing runs on LinkedIn: every post in your feed gets a Buzzkill call-out with a verdict, from "Plain-spoken" all the way to "Fluent Corporate," a Corporate Rank, and a live buzzword count.
  
  SOUND LIKE A HUMAN, NOT A PRESS RELEASE
  Buzzkill checks your own writing, too. Start a draft and it counts your buzzwords in real time. Try to send with them still in there and a guard stops you, flags the "sorry to bother you" phrasing that makes you sound unsure, and rewrites the whole thing in plain English in one click. Clean sends build a streak. Leaks reset it.
  
  A LEADERBOARD FOR THE WORST JARGON OFFENDERS
  Buzzkill ranks everyone in your inbox and feed by how corporate they sound, from Intern to Executive, and keeps a worst-offenders leaderboard. Finally, proof of who never met a synergy they didn't like, alongside your own saves, streaks, and a seven-day recap.
  
  BUZZWORD BINGO, PLAYED AGAINST YOUR REAL INBOX AND FEED
  Pick a theme (Sales, Startup, Recruiter, and more) and Buzzkill deals you a 5x5 card. The squares mark themselves as real emails and posts use the phrases. Fill a line to win, chase the achievements, and share your card with the group chat.
  
  EVERYTHING STAYS IN YOUR BROWSER
  No account, no tracking, no servers. Your email, your feed, the people you read, and your stats never leave your computer. The only network call Buzzkill makes is fetching a small settings file from the developer, and it carries none of your data.
  
  PAY ONCE. YOURS FOR LIFE, OR YOUR MONEY BACK.
  Try the whole thing free for 7 days, no card required. After that it's a one-time $7, no subscription, no account, nothing that renews. (The Chrome Web Store can't take payments, so you unlock it with a quick license inside the extension.) Want more? Expansion packs for Legal, Crypto, and Consulting are $3 each, $7 for all three, or $10 gets you everything. You can even gift it to the coworker who needs it most.
  
  Install once, and never circle back on corporate-speak again.
