I’m wondering if there is a word that describes popular, short-lived words or expressions? Think of «hanging-chad«, a word most people had never heard of, then you heard it everyday for months, then it disappeared.

Maybe the word I’m looking for, if it even exists, is used to describe the phenomenon as opposed to the words themselves.

Quite a few writers have used fad word and fad expression just in the sense you mean. A fad is off course “something that people are interested in for only a short period of time” (Oxford Learner’s Dictionary). Here are some actual, self-explanatory examples (my boldface in all quotes):

Fad words that have come and gone in my lifetime include “groovy,” “awesome,” and “phat.”
[Bruce Snoap, Gone: The Disappearance of Community in the Modern American Church, 2012.]

Perfectly good standard words are regularly replaced or supplemented merely for the additional spice, to flavour speech as thyme flavours soup. Most such words are fad words that disappear again almost immediately, especially among the young.
[Stephen R. Fischer, History of Language, 2004.]

Various terms such as fad words or vogue words are applied to items that are popular for a relatively short time and are used more for their effect than for their precise meanings.
[Ian Hancock and Lorento Todd, International English Usage, 2005.]

Although the phrase 23 Skidoo! (sometimes spelled 23 Skkidoo!) is now generally associated with the Roaring Twenties, it had in fact lost its popularity by the mid 1910s. During its heyday between 1900 and 1910, 23 Skidoo! was an expression to behold. Wentworth and Flexner credit it as having been “perhaps the first national fad expression and one of the most popular fad expressions to appear in the United States.”
[Tom Dalzell, Flappers 2 Rappers: American Youth Slang, 2012]

Not exactly a set-phrase or a slang-word, «a passing craze» seems to fit.

«a short-lived popular fashion; a fad.»

e.g.

«The hula-hoop was just a passing craze.»

«I think the Pokémon GO is just a passing craze.

In addition, and more specific, «a fashionable phrase», «modish word».

Provisional would do.

Provisional meaning -something that is used for the present possibly to be changed in the future.

Example:
The usage of the word ‘hanging chad’ turned out to be provisional.

I found the meaning in my OXFORD dictionary and I went through several examples to come to this conclusion.
