Marvin Minsky classified words such as these as “suitcase words”. As in a word into which people attribute (or pack) multiple meanings.

These words are almost like thought terminating cliches, as in when they are spoken it assures the derailment of the conversation. Further comments will be arguing about what to put in the suitcase rather than the initial point of discussion.
