I have this silly habit of ‘ducking’ during meetings and conferences when buzzwords are being used. I duck because I want to make sure it doesn’t hit me when it swooooshes by.
So it comes to no surprise that the Buzzword Binbo HD iPad app made me laugh: “Buzzword Bingo HDis a free iPad game that mocks those who believe authentic interactions start with empty words. Challenge friends and co-workers during conferences and meetings to see who’ll be the first with five corporate buzzwords in a row as you listen to the droning voices of your superiors.
I am sure it’s a great app, but lets give credit to the original idea:

What a cool idea! I must say it’s much nicer looking than the above Bingo game.
Looks like the word “Bingo” is mis-spelled in the link!!

Had this on my PalmPilot earlier than 1999 IIRC.

I spotted a few that may not be buzzwords. Brand? Design?
