Bingo

I found 15 references for business cliches, especially as used in Buzzword (or Bullshit) bingo and added them to the site you created. Then I found the site Buzzword bingo and added the refs there as well. I remember hearing the cliches used seriously in meetings in the 1980's and 1990's and wondering where they were gettin gall these "think outside the box" "do more with less" and "work smarter, not harder" b.s. wierd phrases. before learing they get them from books like "The management secretc of Attilla the Hun" and Motivational Posters of people or animals doing things which would help the corporate bottom line. I voted to keep the article, but if it gets deleted some of the cliches found at the cited articles could be put into the Buzzword bingo article and cited to the appropriate article to avoid the "original research' complaint.
