I was disappointed it didn't censor "Meticulously hand crafted" or "Made with love in San Francisco". Otherwise, rather lovely.

Same with "Disrupt all the things".

As well as "revolutionary". Technically "revolutionary" is when something is overthrown. So your product is revolutionary if, and only if you have already put Sony, Samsung, Apple, or whoever else out of business.

Great concept. Improve it by adding the plural and gerund forms of the bullshit jargon words: synergies, leveraging, and so on.

And here I was thinking I was the only one who noticed this :)

Now all we need is something to "bullshitize" all those scroll-down parallax websites with a nice duotone-fullscreen-photo-at-the-top...

Can you make one for art bullshit too? Like: "This eclectic multi-layered work represents the stratification of society and holds a mirror in front of us, confronting the viewer with the tensions between individual desire and societal pressures to conform"

There is definitely a need for this in the art world. There is actually a bullshit artist statement generator out there that could be grepped for inclusion.

Bullshit-ify bookmarklet. Create a bookmark with the following code as the url and click it on any website. :) https://gist.github.com/geoah/b2eda5b6cb7169bbbadb ps. Chrome seems to be removing the `javascript:` part when pasting the code.

Yessssss!! This is going to be fun.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Also synergy is bullshitted, but synergies not.

Yup, personally I don't see the point of doing anything if it's only going to give me one synergy...

The key part of having multiple synergies is that your synergies can synergize. This makes synergistics a critical component of disruptive growth hacking, as your additional synergies will scale up non-linearly. That's why at Synrgize we're making the world a better place by constructing elegant hierarchies for maximum synergistic synergization.
