If you're thinking about a less 'offensive' name, then how about Buzzword Bingo? (although I quite like the 'bullshit' name myself ;-)

I personally don't see a proper icon, but otherwise all seems fine. I was wondering if there were any other dictionaries around? Almost no meetings I've ever been to ever mentioned "maemo", but constantly talk about "velocity" and "momentum" (etc).

@Rafal- This application have enough votes to be promoted, if you don't want to promote it please vote down the application in order to demote it.

I think the name is good, but perhaps a more child-friendly name, otherwise a trend might start of having swear words for the application name?

Might be best to stop it before it happens.

I like the name, I do not find it inappropriate at all...

@Venomrush - Your reason to thumb down do not meet any of the Q&A requirements, please don't give thumbs down based in your personal preferences. Remember that this is not the app store ;)

Prefer a name change to "I Quit! Bingo"

Name is inappropriate in a professional software development community.

Description would turn into:

A game that can be played in large meetings. The players write down management-nonsense word like "Out-of-the-box-thinking", "Synergy", "Content streamlining" etc. in a 5 by 5 square bingo card. If a word or phrase is used during the meeting you check the box. When you get a five box line (horizontally, vertically or diagonally ) you shout "I QUIT!" and win.

Hi guys,

I'm back after sick leave:) @Mikko: one more time good catch. Thank you:) I've forgot about it. Will be fixed soon.

About the icon:

I am not sure if it appeared after install.

Documentation[1] says that "gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor" should be run in postinst script, which this package isn't doing (

@Mikko, I agree with you. I'll fix it in next version.

@Mustali, the other change is that I've changed the location of dictionary file from /usr/share/bullshitbingo/dictionary to /home/user/.bullshitbingo/dictionary.

@Marko, this is due to a bug in the fremantly UI not the app. Rebooting the device or restarting the hildon desktop will display the icon.

Icon in the menu is not working for me.

was there any change other than the icon?

Only problem packaging wise that I can see is that /home/user/.bullshitbingo/dictionary is included in the package. It would be better if the default word list was programmatically generated if it is not found. This would make bullshitbingo more compatible with other distros, like Mer, which might not be single user systems.

But works as expected, nice icon etc.
