Management Bingo
I used to work in a place where a game was invented around the utter drivvel spouted by the management. Someone (with too much time on their hands apparently) made up, and photocopyed, bingo cards featuring the various buzzwords of the managers. If a manager used one of these words whilst addressing you, you checked it off on your card, first to check them all wins.

This features many typical management buzzwords/phrases which I'm sure you will all have heard before; 'firefighting' (lots of work to be done, 'look at the bigger picture' (I don't have a clue what you're talking about but I'll qualify my opinion by starting with this), 'I'll take that on board' (I'm going to ignore you)...

However, the one I couldn't (and still can't stand), which made me (and makes me) cringe every time it was uttered....



Guesstimate.

Grrrrrr....

Garner BIngo!

He was an idiot that held 92 meetings in two weeks while the MD was away, had delusions of adequacy, and spoke entirely in cliches. We also used to run a sweepstake on how long he'd take to interview (by which I mean talk about how important he was [in his Marks and Sparks shirts]). The ftter the girl, the bigger the tits, the longer the interview.

The Bingo, he's probably more subtle about the perving
