A set of seemingly innocuous questions, usually appearing at a time when an email thread appears to be resolved, not necessarily from one's management chain, derailing any semblance of a process of executing against deadlines.
Engineer A: How's your project going?
Engineer B: It's not, I got drive-by-the-wayed by Product Managers all day.

Get the drive-by-the-waymug. an extremely entertaining sport/recreational activity that can unfortunately have negative legal and/or physical consequences.

Get the hard drivemug. The awkward conversation that takes place when two people are walking toward each other, but neither stops, and both are left trailing of half formulated sentences of 'good thanks...' 'see ya..' and sometimes questions are ignored because too much distance has been covered.
Matt is so awkward, we always seem to have a drive-by convo.
(example of drive-by convo):
"Oh hey, how are you?" (the pass) "Good and you?..."(~6ft apart) "good see ya.." (muffled under your breathe because you realize you're awkwardly far away to talk)

Get the drive-by convomug. ‘Haven’t you drank too much to drive us all home?’
‘Nah mate, it’s 5 and drive - remember?’
‘Oh yeah! My mistake’

Get the 5 and drivemug. similar in principle to the drive-by screwdrivering, except that the screwdriver is replaced by a watermelon (or similarly bulky fruit)
the act of the drive-by watermelon is as follows:
-head to a local hangout frequented by chavs/general delinquents (McDonalds car park is usually a good location)
-pick out an individual deserving enough to receive the impending assault
-slow down the vehicle and wind down the window, then lob said watermelon squarely at the recipient's groin
-you may need to speed up and escape at this point to avoid retaliation, however the watermelonee will most likely be on the floor in pain, and his acquaintances will generally be too confused and too busy laughing at their unfortunate chum to raise a counter-attack.
-retire to a safe distance

the tracksuit-wearing yobs got what they deserved for a change when we rolled past and administered a drive-by watermelon attack
