Collect phrases like :
"moving forward" (in the future)
"Growing the business"
"mental bandwidth"
"de-risk"
"develop a plan around"
"Scrubbing" (as in checking over a list)
"partner with" (in reference to another work group)
etc...
Then for each meeting make a mark next to each one you hear, and write down the potential new ones. Five marks is a bingo!
(overheard coming out of a meeting) "Hey, I won management bingo today!"
