buzzword bingo

A game played between colleagues in a meeting who are only half-heartedly listening to the speaker. Words and/or business phrases are arranged in a traditional Bingo board fashion and inconsipicuously checked off as the speaker says them. Suggestions include: strategy, direction, "the way forward," collaborative, etc.

Me: "Hey, let's play buzzword bingo."
You: "Of course!"
Me: "Ok, I've got: global, expansion, cost-cutting, and strategy."
You: "Fine. I'll take layoffs, acquisition, growth model, and sync."

Buzzword Salad

Buzzword Salad is a variety of word salad that heavily uses "buzzwords" rather than conventional words. Imagine an ad man or PR hack speaking in tongues about the next safe tobacco product in a harsh CDC report.

I thought that word-salad was pure gibberish, but there was a signal of the "buzzwords" here. Buzzword Salad is a variety of word salad that heavily uses "buzzwords" rather than conventional words. Imagine an ad man or PR hack speaking in tongues about the next safe tobacco product in a adversarial CDC report.

Imagine an IPCC citation, which is legitimate, blurred with the buzz-word salad.

Imagine the next CDC report, mixed with an antivaccine essay.
