Bullshit Bingo!

Lol. Here is some consulting crap lingo. If you can put these words in a conversation, no matter how unqualified or incompetent you are, you'll shoot up that corporate ladder like a rocket!

leverage - 'I'll leverage the fact that the customer is in a good mood'

impact analysis - 'We must come up with an impact analysis document on why the customer was in a good mood'

socialization - 'You must socialize to everyone that the customer is in a good mood'

approach - 'We must come up with an approach document on how to approach the customer when he is not happy'

corporate citizenship - 'We must use our customers happiness to be corporate citizenship and collectively contribute to the well being of all'

Go on, be a tiger!

Let's see...

There's the mission statement of one of my favorite naval bloggers, CDR Salamander: "Proactively “From the Sea”; leveraging the littoral best practices for a paradigm breaking six-sigma business case rightsizing the core values supporting our mission statement via the 5-vector model and the Human Capital Strategy."

Other than that, paradigm shifting/breaking, joint, expeditionary (in the USAF), net-centric...I'm sure I'll be able to think of a few more.

Jesse, you got to think outside the box.....you got to CHANGE the para-diggum.....

Thanks, so much fun, so few meetings.

Old school additions
Viable alternative
Vis-a-vis
‘input’ as in “we need to seek input from”
Almost any term from Dr Demming’s many books……as if one could order a ‘quality’ fire mission. OY!

I believe the wonderful folks at chairforce.com have an airforce specific version, I think its a few pages back though, they kicked it out quite a while ago.

"underpinning(s)" (n) An engineering term that says one's work provides the foundation to the concept being sold. Syn.: undergird.

"reachback" (v) To draw a lightning-bridge from the soldier icon to the industry icon on one's PowerPoint slide. This is done to show that Contractors Rule, and Flag Officers Drool when it comes to acquisition decision-making.

"teaming" (v) To form a committee to study the problem for the purpose of informing a follow-on committee that will be formed to offer a solution, if the flag officer hasn't been transferred out yet.

"coalition" (v) To remember that will we work the Brits, Aussies, and Canadians, none of them can get past our security measures for information.

"joint" (adj) Describes an Air Force system that has OSD backing, but zero utility to the other services.

"academic rigour" (v, n) 1. To hire a contractor to read all of the field and joint manuals to determine if there is, in fact, a doctrinal basis for the whacked out concept being sold; 2. An Excel spreadsheet, that, if printed out, weighs in excess of 20 pounds. Usually delivered with an "I Dare You" glare by the NSPSer who required a 20-minutes block of instruction on what the column headings mean.

"architecture" (n) A catch-all term for diagrams reminiscent of flow-charts and written in obtuse computerese and reduced to Excel spreadsheets because vendors have already sold the government their system.

Just a few of what I run across...

I remember seeing the AF-centric version of BS Bingo a number of years ago as well. Good luck finding it. For your version, how about adding: synergy, robust, groundbreaking, strategic, proactive or reactive (there should be extra points if the two are used in the same sentence) and vision.

I agree lela, "proactive" is a bingo itself.
