"Eclectic" and "world class" are usually
associated with hype, and therefore BS.
However, "deconstruct" and "patina" are often used
in the context of critical assessment. Sometimes
critics are a bit too full of themselves, but I'd
call that puffery, not BS.
Some of the words & terms that light up my BS detector include:
o unprovoked
o break-through
o unparalleled
