Those were good
To be honest - I do #6, #8, and #10 a lot.
On a side note, here is one of my favorite meetings:
..and second favorite
Good stuff!
If you don't particularly care about appearing smart in a meeting, but simply want to pass the time at one of these gatherings that are more of an exercise or test of the ability of one person to waste the time of others and assert their authority here is a good way to do it.

The sample card that I viewed on the other end of that link didn't include the phrases: "Ramp Up" . . . "Robust" . . . or "At the End of the Day" but I would include them in the game.
I've attended a lot of meetings, in the past, that impressed me with the ability of the "meeting caller" to cram 15 minutes of information into a two hour time frame.
P.S. The Original Post here is a CLASSIC!!!!!!! =)
Thank You!!!!!

A group of us used to play buzzword bingo in some of the larger meetings. Really helped you pay attention.

Therefore, the desired result to appear smart might not get the anticipated result. =)
(yeah . . . I'm jealous . . . I only spent 2.75 years at a Noted Party School back in the early '70s.
Majoring in Political Science and History. My favorite class was for a required Humanities credit.
It was taught by a tweedy old professor--who reminded me of Mr. Chips--in a dusty old building, in an antique auditorium.
The theme of the class was something like "Greek Mythology 101" or "Greek Mythology for Dummies" or whatever.
I made a point of making those "meetings." He touched on a lot of interesting topics, such as Hubris.
And Hubris is probably the cause of 95% of business meetings.)
Everyone knows the smartest person in any meeting is really the one that just sits there and doesn't say or do anything.
So that explains it! Amazing what only a little over two and a half years can do to a person.Quote:

The most amazing detail of all, within the context of the current discussion, is that the original post, appearing at the very top of the thread, was apparently generated by a GIRL (!).
I thought that girls were incapable of actual humor/sarcasm/etc. or the appreciation thereunto. =)
Sorry . . . Watched a couple of episodes of MadMen a while back . . . scarred me for life.
On both the negative and positive sides or the Venn Diagram. =)
And, if you stop to think about it for moment, isn't "girl" one of the strangest combinations of letters ever? =)
(Groucho Marx, Samuel Clements, and Jesus were generally not required to be at meetings. Were they?)

The Creature apparently had made his (or her) home there in the pile of discarded rosebush clippings. Needless to say, i was taken aback and nearly startled(!). For a moment or two i wondered if the spider, rather than a rosebush twig had bitten me. Yet . . . when i looked at the spider and the spider looked back at me, after pausing in its hasty retreat from its natural home of at least a couple of months then scurried back to its relocated comfort zone no worse for the experience i decided that it didn't bite me. =)
That little parable might make even the most boring, no-brainer, "Business Meeting" more entertaining if spun properly in the direction of a Point.
With or without a PowerPoint Representation of a Crummy Venn Diagram. =)
Yet doesn't even begin to approach the level of actual LOL!!! (for real) in the OP's Link.
p.s.: the proper word is probably "quirkily" rather than "quirky' within the context of the sentence. =)
(sorry . . . grammar nazi from way back . . . probably involving nature and nurture . . . but whaddaya gonna do? =)
No. It's just an example of what I was talking about! How many would have caught that, really? But you're absolutely right!Quote:
