Humour

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls? Here's a way to change all of that.

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare your "Bullshit Bingo" card by printing copies of the table below.
   
   

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



2. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.
3. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
