Wait, I like this one after discovering its provenance: Grant Petersen invented the term. Q-factor is short for Quack-factor; the wider it is, the more one’s stance approximates that of a duck—hence “quack.”
Quite cheeky, really, and all the funnier because it gets used alongside the “serious” buzzwords rightly being called out in this thread.

Artisanal - ok word but over used in many industries for stuff that isn't that artisanal.
Biek - miss-spelling that became popular. Mostly seen on LFGSS.
Fella or Mate or Bud - when used by someone i don't know, who i met for 5 secs ago, or used in replies to messages about something for sale.

"Built with with top notch parts"
- Yes, Rock Shox are a respected brand of suspension, no, your Indy XCs don't qualify.
"Disc breaks"
- I'd swap them before you hurt yourself
"Clip in peddles"
- Peddle all you want, I ain't buying.
"Too many upgrades to list"
- What? You're too lazy to type "Ergon grips and a new set of Minions"?
"Always serviced by a professional"
- Hey, so are my bikes! Unfortunately that professional is an urban planner who knows sh*t all about bikes...
"Curated parts spec"
- Translation "I'm a wanker"
"Team issue colourway"
- So, like... paint?
"Unmatched stiffness and compliance"
- So, like... fresh frozen.
"11 cog rear cassette"
- Ahhh, my pet peeve. See sign off below.
