I once had a coworker who called this "bullshit bingo" and had a bingo grid drawn on a whiteboard at her desk with all of the latest buzzwords.
On a somewhat-related note, my grandfather told me that while he was in Officer Candidate School in the Army, there would be someone assigned to ring a bell whenever a person who was leading a briefing or otherwise presenting faltered with an "oral pause" (uh, ummm, etc.) I don't know if this was a normal or ongoing practice.
Toastmasters has someone assigned to count these when someone is making a speech but the bell is next level.
I seem to remember there was a Dilbert strip on the topic of buzzword bingo.
She might well have gotten the idea there. This was a fairly dilbert-esque company. Somebody adapted the meeting with a vendor comic[0] with the company's name and a drawing of one of their products. It was used in a lot of internal (and some customer-facing) presentations.
