While coming out of a corporate bankruptcy in 2008, our new court appointed overlords were just full of verbal diarrhea and buzzwords. I built a random word generator sheet to print off a new card for each conference call. "Bullshitte Bingo." Kept us laughing until we eventually got the chop.

And I'd love to offer these in their place:

empyrean

panapoly

I also would love to see "rats", "drat", "curses" and "dastardly" re-enter the lexicon. Credit to Peanuts and Hanna Barbara of course.

Ha! Just a couple days ago two of my friends who are teachers were commiserating about the word "rigorous". I'll have to ask them about common core.

Randisi, I was tempted to add "conflate" to "accountable." "Conflate" strikes me as a pretentious way of saying "combine."

WyoRockMan, I loved your bingo card. Our most common word was missing, however. one way those of us in the insolvency law game differentiate and identify ourselves is how we complete the phrase "in the best interest of the ." Most lawyers would answer "child." Insolvency counsel answers "creditors."

"you know" sprinkled into every 3 rd or 4th phrase. No I "don't know" or I wouldn't have asked.
