Bullshit Bingo - would certainly liven up the 'death by powerpoint' sessions - just not sure I'd be brave enough to shout 'Bingo!'<br /><br />I do remember winning a modest bet of 50p a long time ago when I correctly predicted a particularly obnoxious manager would mention that he'd once had a black girlfriend in order to impress us with his political credentials. He never did understand the significance of a 50p piece being ostentatiously handed over mid meeting.

The next time I'm at a meeting and I hear it I'm going to ask that person "what the hell are you talking about!" On second thoughts I might tone it down (is that jargon?) Depends if I think it's being used to impress/exclude. <br />Agree with your post Jim. I was not aware and thank you for bringing it to my attention.
