Bullshit Bingo
Every now and then I find it difficult to stay awake during a meeting or a presentation. Staring at Powerpoint slides for hours on end can make me narcoleptic. I've tried all kinds of things to stay awake, and nothing works. But this might... Bullshit Bingo. Search the web for this term and you will find a plethora of variants. The basic game is simple, cross off boxes when you hear somebody use the phrase and try to get bingo. Here is a common BS Bingo Card:
