How to play "Bull**** Bingo"

Before your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare your Bull**** Bingo Cards by drawing a square (5"x5" is a good size) and divide it into columns and rows {five across and five down). That will give you (25) 1" blocks.

Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:

synergy
strategic fit
core competencies
out of the box
bottom line
revisit
take that off-line
24/7
out of the loop
benchmark
value-added
proactive
win-win
think outside the box
fast track
result-driven
empower (or empowerment)
knowledge base
at the end of the day
touch base
mindset
client focus(ed)
ballpark
game plan
leverage

Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.

When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULL****!"

Didn't see one of my all time favorites: 'Proof of concept'

Bust your tail for two months and find out the whole project is 'proof of concept'.

Of course during the two months you are hearing this one:
'99% complete is total mission failure'

Grrr!!!
Hey! I got a concept for ya', right here!

 

haha, lol.

everyone i work with is to stoopit to know those words

 

Me too but, that doesn't stop everybody from using them.

 

The one I hate the most is "MISSION CRITICAL"

I was working for a service organization ant the VP of sales loved to use this term. I had spent six years in the Air Force and understood the meanining of Mission Critical.

Stroking his newest deal was nerver mission critical.

 

I was in charge of a project once and I had a saying that told everyone what would happen if we didn't get it done and at the same time let everyone know that I had a basic grasp of general physics.

Every morning I would come in and say:

"Head's will roll ! Except for the blockheads."
