Thread Name: BS: Business speak
Subject: RE: BS: Business speak
My sister's husband, who hails from Maine, is a Business professor at the University of Wisconsin. He works in an MBA factory, making MBA's - but he's rather cynical about it and laughs at the MBA students who take themselves so seriously.

So, one of his favorite things to do in class is play "buzzword bingo." Whenever somebody uses corporate jargon, somebody will shout out and claim the buzzword for bingo credit. Can't say I know all the rules of the game, but I'm glad he does his part to try to make business people cynical about business jargon.
