It is what it is

What about most over used adjectives by generation;
Born before 1950 - Marvellous
Born 1951 - 1970 - Fantastic
Born 1971- 1990 - Awesome
Born 1991 onwards - Hectic

Time to trot out the old Buzzword Bingo game (some called it wank word bingo).

One of my more extreme mates actually took the Buzzword Bingo chart into a "workshop" one time and marked it up as the meeting progressed, calling "Bingo" when 'all the boxes were ticked". In front of several bigwigs from head office as well.

Didn't get him fired, but didn't get promoted.

TESTIMONIALS FROM OTHER PLAYERS:
"I had only been in the meeting for five minutes when I yelled Bingo."
"My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically."
"It's a wheeze, meetings will never be the same for me after my first outright win."
"The atmosphere was tense at the last process workshop as thirty-two of us listened intently for the elusive fifth."
"The facilitator was gobsmacked as we all screamed Bingo! for the third time in two hours."
"I feel that the game has enhanced the overall quality of meetings per se on a quid pro quo basis."
"Bonza! You could have cut the atmosphere with a cricket stump as we waited for the fifth delivery."
"People are now even listening to mumblers, thanks to Wank Words."
