Corporate buzzword glossary
The joke works because the terms often compress a real idea until it becomes vague. Here is the plain-English meaning behind some of the card’s classics.

|---|---|
| Synergy | Two teams or products should create more value together than separately. |
| Leverage | Use an existing asset, relationship, or capability to get a result. |
| Circle back | Return to the topic later, often without naming when. |
| Deep dive | Spend more time examining one subject in detail. |
| Double-click | Expand on a point or inspect it more closely. |
| North star | The primary goal or metric used to guide decisions. |
| Bandwidth | Available time or attention, not network capacity. |
| Move the needle | Create a noticeable change in an important measure. |
| Low-hanging fruit | An easy improvement that can be captured quickly. |

Make a card for your company
Every workplace develops its own vocabulary. Fork Corporate Classics, delete terms nobody uses, and add the product names, recurring acronyms, leadership phrases, or meeting rituals unique to your team. Custom packs stay in your browser. You can export JSON or generate a compressed share link without creating an account.
Automatic listening stays on-device
The optional Moonshine speech model runs in a Web Worker in your browser. Audio is not sent to Bizword Bingo. Automatic matching is useful for repeated phrases; manual marks remain available for company names, dense acronyms, and imperfect meeting audio.
