Anybody here besides me ever play "bulls**t bingo?"
Easy on that sauce, Sir.
But seriously, folks. Back in the days when it was my privilege to work for a living (ugh), some of us holier-than-thou types would get seriously cranked off at the crap language upper management and their lackeys would use in order to make themselves sound important and serve as a substitute for actual thought and communication.
One day, we ran across a Web site (I think it's still there) that posted Bingo cards that had business world B.S. words and phrases in the cells instead of numbers. What you did was print some out (every time you refreshed the page, you got a different card), distribute them to your cronies, and take them to your next meeting. Then, you crossed off the entries that you heard the morons running the thing used, until you had five in a row, at which time, you jumped up out of your chair and yelled, "Bullsh1t" the same way old ladies in Bingo parlors do when they've got a winning card.
My pal James bet me 10 bucks I wouldn't do it, but, as I am sure you can imagine, there's not a lot I wouldn't have done in those days for 10 bucks. I guess this may have something to do with the fact that, when the company decided they had to cut back on payroll, my name was at the top of the layoff list.
Hi-ho. Here's a sample card:
