the word "startup" has been a buzz word since ~2012 from my perspective. Ever since I saw established companies start to describe their approach as becoming more "startup-like".

Startup means a business that is "starting up". People have become so divorced from reality that words don't even have meaning anymore.
Computer means a person who "computes". Photo-shop means a shop that "develops photos".
