Quite disagree on almost all of them. What does OP mean by retiring a word? He and his colleagues are unable to use them in the right context?
It's so easy to criticise everything and everyone by not matching some personal purity standards or pointing out at inconsistencies, but unless the audience is too young that critical aspect doesn't make you sound smarter, it just shows that either you got less real world experience or you aren't empathetic.
Come on, the whole thing is a cheesy senseless post aiming to be provocative, the author even doesn't understand what technical debt is, and could be because of his professional background in menstruous organizations. In order to understand what agile is, in spite of not matching all of its original goals, one should try to see some old dinosaur alike companies and come back wishing any kind of cargo cult alike agile thing.
Perhaps OP should start to see marketing powered fuzz-words as tools of social transformation that makes all of us evolve into a more "wise collective" by building a common culture, understanding and framework of thought to handle situations.
