Ineffective Meeting Syndrome or IMS is the automatic selection of a calendar invite without any conscious thought. Choosing a meeting because you lack the creativity to think about how else to get what you need to be accomplished. Resulting in meetings without agendas, purpose, interest or follow-up.
This morning I fell asleep in front of my coworkers from a bad case of IMS.
The all-hands meeting had over half the team lined up for the bathroom from IMS.

An IM is a Maxim, anybody can be called an IM and the word is not a compliment it is commonly used when one is angry.

Person 2:"Wow man thats crazy you sounded like a total gentlemen when you said "Oh good heavens im about to splurge."
