Peak meeting is the point in time when the maximum rate of attention extraction is reached, after which the rate of attention enters terminal decline.
Attention extraction rate is not proportionate to the volume of input over time at any one said meeting. If nothing of importance is said in the first 10 minutes commence Coffee Break.
Equation:
Length of Meeting = Rate of Novelty + Caffeine Level (-Sleep Deprivation Amount) ---> When it trends negative, all communication ceases. Standard Deviation for an expired meeting is about 10 minutes.

Employee 1: You cure can tell everyones attention span dropped 20 minutes into it the meeting.
Employee 2: Yeah the peak meeting was definitely 15 minutes.

Get the Pank mug.Peak baggers have a mild obsession with collecting as many summit victories over significant named peaks as possible. They'll hike often and quickly usually sacrificing comfort for time saved.
Frank: Hey Bob, Let's do this loop trail and we can bag 6 peaks on one hike!
Bob: It's 20 miles of trail!
Frank: We can do it!
Bob: Got to love Peak Bagging!

Get the Pank mug.The theory that computer programmers obtain quasi-magical, superhuman coding ability when they have a blood alcohol concentration percentage between 0.129% and 0.138%. The discovery of this effect is attributed to Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft - who probably "discovered" it by simply monitoring his own perpetually inebriated nervous system, and deducing that programming ability "peaks" after a few drinks and then dips dramatically after full-blown drunkenness ensues.
If you can convince your boss that this is all based on legitimate science, and that the effect is real (i.e. your drunkeness = better code = more money for the company), then you will have achieved perfection in this world. There will be no reason to ever come back sober from lunch again.
Also known as "The Ballmer Curve" and "The Ballmer Effect" this state has been observed by people who play darts... and musicians. Although, to be fair, musicians only notice the effect briefly (and totally by accident) as they transition from complete sobriety to absolute drunkeness - without ever even trying to moderate their alcohol intake in order to stay at the peak.

I had three more Long Island Teas after I had already hit the Ballmer Peak, so now none of my fucking code will compile.

Get the Ballmer Peak mug.(n./adj.) This phrase can be used to describe people that routinely bring up high school when they are well into their 30's, because they haven't had a single exciting or interesting experience since their senior year, and as such their lives and themselves are said to have, "peaked in high school."
This term is often used when speaking disparagingly about an individual or group. This phrase can only be used appropriately after-the-fact (i.e. after individual/group leaves high school) to accurately gauge if (s)he qualifies for such status.

I have noticed a lot of athletes, clowns, and bullies peaked in high school, whereas geeks, nerds, and dweebs are often at the lowest risk of 'peaking', because their high school experience(s) leave them no where to go but up.
