Global, all encompassing terms like big data are fine between people that understand that it is catch all for a large set of skills and usages.

However, forgive me for being a little bit jaded by hearing umpteen thousand buzzwords in the last 15 years.

For those of you in HR / Agency - Big Data is a marketing term. There is no difference to what you can do with data now.
For those responsible for data security / safety / accuracy - Big Data also equals 'uncontrolled'. The sort of thing most companies have been battling against for years.

For example a SELECT that works in a flash on a small to medium sized database might take forever on a huge one, or worse still lock the whole thing for ages, if it isn't carefully crafted and tested based on the existing keys.
Also, you might need extra infrastructure such as separate read and write servers, and a more elaborate backup strategy.
