it seems people place too much values and emphasis on random things with exotic sounding names as a way to make themselves sound more sophisticated and therefore credible.
is there some shared concept with Neuro lingustic Programing that gives these kinds of people positive feelings when they read or say these exotic sounding word?

Naming something gives it power. It makes it more discrete in the mind, easier to talk about. The fact that things end up with names doesn't say anything about those things.

I think people in general just love buzzwords. There is real power in language. It goes beyond the explicit meaning or words. The implicit meaning of the words have a very real subconscious effect on the reciever. If you use the word "incestuous" to discribe relationship between business and government, the reciever gets a far nastier impression than saying "a revolving door."
A good buzzword will make people remember, and lend the idea credibility, and a bad one will discredit the contents.
Just take "pizzagate" for example. Its a horible buzzword that almost seems designed to make people roll their eyes. "human-trafficking" on the other hand actually discribes the topic.
Another example: "illuminati" gets the eye-roll (thanks to decades of fictional media), whereas "deep-state" discribes the topic and has a certain ring to it.
