(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

ROI – Prove this makes money or it’s getting cut.
Just to clarify… – I’m about to tell you that you’re wrong, nicely.
Action Items – Homework, but for adults.
Whiteboard it – We have no idea what we’re doing, but drawing random shapes might help.
Per my last email – READ WHAT I ALREADY SENT YOU.
Circle Back – I don’t have an answer right now, and I hope you forget about this.

Bandwidth – Are you too overwhelmed to take this on? Too bad, do it anyway.
Move the needle – Please make it look like we’re making progress.
KPIs – Metrics we’ll track but probably ignore.
Standard Operating Procedures – A huge document no one reads.
Let's unpack that. – I don’t understand what you just said, but I’ll pretend I do.

I hope this email finds you well – Because I’m about to ask for something.
Think outside the box – Come up with something original, but don’t change anything.
Result-Driven – The results must look good, no matter what happens behind the scenes.
Hard Stop – I have somewhere better to be.
Touch Base – I have nothing new to say, but I want a meeting anyway.
Win-Win – One person wins, but we’ll pretend it benefits everyone.
Drill Down – We’re about to get into unnecessary details.
Strategy Session – We’ll come up with a plan that we’ll abandon in two weeks.
Let's take this offline – This conversation is going nowhere, and I want it to end.
Circle Back – Again, hoping you forget this exists.
Action Item – Something I’m assigning to you but not doing myself.
Scalability – Let’s hope this works when we actually try to expand.
Pivot – We messed up, so now we’re pretending it was intentional.
Can you ping me? – Let me ignore your Slack message later.
Optimize – Do more work with fewer people.
World Class – Not actually world class, but it sounds fancy.
Generative AI – We don’t know what it is, but we’re using it in our PowerPoint.
Mission-Critical – If this fails, blame will be assigned immediately.
Fast Track – We need this immediately, but we’ll still delay approvals for weeks.
Fail Fast, Fail Forward – Make mistakes quickly so we can act like it was part of the plan.
What is the Agenda? – We should have planned this meeting, but we didn’t.
What's the ETA on this? – Why isn’t this done yet?
On my radar – I am vaguely aware of this but not doing anything about it.
Deep Dive – Let’s spend way too much time overanalyzing this.
Parking lot that idea – We will never talk about this again.
Let's level set – You clearly don’t understand, so let me reset the conversation.
