bullshit bingo

Jargon drinking game

Bullshit bingo is a game played during meetings, presentations, or speeches where participants mark off buzzwords and jargon on a bingo card as they hear them: I got bullshit bingo in the first ten minutes of the quarterly review.

The game mocks corporate speak, political rhetoric, or any context heavy with empty phrases.

Also called buzzword bingo.
