If you use a word and don't know what it means, it's a buzzword.

Let me elaborate a bit about how it happens. People are being told they're going to go through a system design interview. They read about system design interviews. They see that load balancers are often mentioned, and they decide: to look good on the interview I should use a load balancer. And they are trying to put it in at any cost.

Now, if they never used load balancers and didn't read about them, they sometimes misunderstand the purpose of them, and it ends up looking suspicious.
