You can always check out the Dogbert Buzzword Generator :)

And, as always, Bullshit Bingo! You can grab a few choice terms from there, too

I think the inverse of Dogbert's Buzzword Generator must be Bullshit Bingo.

Anybody ever play Bullshit Bingo? This post is rife with possibilities.

"We have undertaken a project to develop a formal understanding of the dynamics causing..."

Bingo!

Seriously... Both the review and the book look like great candidates for bullshit bingo!

I think this is what you are talking about!! Very funny!

There is a way to actually have fun with these nonsense terms:

I tried this myself in business seminars, definitly works! It's better to have humorous people around, though.

BULLSHIT!

Oh. Sorry. I just got back from a meeting where we were playing Bullshit Bingo the whole time.

My sincere apologies.

BULLSHIT!!

Voice input might be it, once it's faster and all of the bugs are ironed out.

Offer a truly revolutionary interface paradigm

Print up your card from here

For those who don't get it:

Bullshit Bingo!

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

How to play:

Before each meeting, visit http://www.perkigoth.com/home/kermit/stuff/bullshi tbingo/ and print one copy of this game card for each player, refreshing the page before each print, or have the players print their own game cards.

Check off each block when you hear these words during a meeting, seminar, or phone call. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout BULLSHIT!!

Bingo!

At a minimum, your Enterprise Resource Planning solution should help you streamline operations, automate processes that should be automated, and give you increased management visibility with an easy-to-use, flexible, agile solution.

They actually can see that their attempt to sound smart and helpful is neither. They are not being sincere. By writing that drivel anyway, they may be showing several things. One is contempt for the rest of us-- do they really think we can't see through those words? Another is that maybe the product is so bad they couldn't think of anything better to say.

It is very tiresome sifting through constant attempts to hype, baffle, conceal, mislead, shift blame, and lie that try to seem smart, friendly and helpful. Most people can construct acceptable sentences. Some don't grasp why they shouldn't abuse communication. The Byzantine Empire didn't fall because the citizens couldn't master Greek.

Next meeting, play Bullshit Bingo.

"What's really needed is more of a strategic planning process that involves business executives and technologists," Spinelli said. Instead, security managers all too often offer "nothing by way of a long-term strategy" for IT security.

In just the first two paragraphs alone I was able to fill up my BULLSH*T BINGO card. Let's see if I can write a useless statements containing lots of buzzwords. What's really needed is a short term strategy with long term synergestic goals that transcend all layers of the organization and implement proactive world-class security. Yep, I still got it.

Just think, if executives had more of a strageic planning process for the business in general, then US companies might be healthier and stronger, instead of sacrificing the future for short-term profits.

I guess it is just a slooooow news day.

caused a big paradigm shift

Is this redundancy, they said no its a strategic realignment of the workforce to provide maximum efficency and flow. Then they made me redundant... Of course you can always play Bullshit Bingo
Rus

Looking at that job posting, you could almost play a game of Bullshit Bingo with it...

No you must stand up shouting "BULLSHIT"
according to this

Try again

Try this out ! I know that there are several versions out there, one of them specific to I.T. but I don't remember the link off-hand... Someone feeds this post through the B*S Bingo for some fun !

I cannot tell you how much businessspeak and cliche's I heard. Reading this post was like a flashback with phrases like "Partnering for Success" and "cost center" and "consequence based thinking". I can't tell you how sick I get from hearing folks spout off tripe like "world class" etc...

I know what you mean, that's why I try to always keep one of these around.

Play Bullshit Bingo!!

I think I triggered the bullshit bingo alert with the previous post.

These kind of things are bound to happen when talking about XML webservices in .net for a proactive leveraging of the end-user prod -*BINGO*

-Doh'

I remember reading somewhere that there was a copy protected cd released, that you could play on your computer, it had propeitary software and 128 kbps mp3s.
