Trends in the corpus of books don't always match trends in the corpus of web blogs but the graph of "learnings" popularity seems to match my perception of its increasing usage: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=learnings&year...

Another phrase I see spreading rapidly is "double-click that" replacing "drill into that". Seems like every podcast instantly adopted "double-click" lingo in the last 2 years.

Buzzwords are pretty viral via consultants, and so eventually leach into the corporate / common speech.

Because if you're not using the newest lingo, you might not be using the newest approaches, and might be falling behind! (gasp!)
