Chavão

Sug.
Note from asker:
chavão é lugar comum, clichê: alto e bom som, ao apagar das luzes, bola da vez, cair como uma luva, cavalo de batalha, dar o último adeus, morto prematuramente, pôr a mão na massa, ~ as barbas de molho, ~ as cartas na mesa tirar o cavalo da chuva, via de regra, vias de fato, vida de cachorro e voltar à estaca zero etc. Obrigado.

economês

Creio que utilizar "economês" seja uma boa saída:

"Termos do economês sempre fizeram parte do repertório no meio empresarial."

Ou seja, adotando uma interpretação mais específica e já adaptada ao seu texto.

Sorte!

Marco, o Houaiss sinaliza o termo como "jocoso". Veja:

Regionalismo: Brasil. Uso: jocoso.

A Wikipedia explica "buzzword":

A buzzword (also fashion word and vogue word) is a vague idiom, usually a neologism, that is common to managerial, technical, administrative, and political work environments. Although meant to impress the listener with the speaker's pretense to knowledge, buzzwords render sentences opaque, difficult to understand and question, because the buzzword does not mean what it denominates, yet does mean other things it ought not mean.

Ou seja, leva também o tom "derrogatory" característico de "jocoso".

Se o seu texto fosse da área de informática, poderia adotar "informatiquês", se da jurídica, "juridiquês", e assim por diante.

Sorte!
