I couldn't disagree more.

The words used in the 'Haskell slogan' may be technical jargon; however as
such they have a precisely defined meaning and actually characterize the
language fine. This is exactly the opposite of 'buzzwords', which usually
lack a clear and unambiguous definition (but are loved by marketing
people).
