Buzzword Bingo

Buzzword Bingo, in my opinion, is one of the funniest office jokes ever invented.

Buzzword Bingo is a Bingo take-off game where prior to an all-employee meeting with speeches from upper management, participants prepare 'Bingo cards' with corporate buzzwords (predicatable arcane motivational business slogans) and tick them off when the speaker uses them during the event. The first person to get a 'Bingo' wins.

Part of the game is to have the nerve to actually yell "Bingo!"; instead of simply emailing or texting everyone, or just looking around delightedly and mouthing the word "Bingo" at everyone.

But it doesn't matter who wins anyway. The funny part is that the speaker looks like a pointless fool.

This 2007 IBM commercial doesn't quite capture it, but if you've never heard of Buzzword Bingo, you'll get the point.
