I have seen excel, SQL, even MS office used as a buzzword. Of course there's also agile, scrum, etc.

Bigdata and machine learning are also hot word. But they are clearly modern engineering. Consultants exist to explain the best way to achieve modern best practices to people without the appropriate background. If someone asks about "Why no Hadoopz plx?", either explain the other technology used instead (maybe spark, storm?) or explain that the scale is small enough for Access to handle. That's a consultant's job.
