Lockdown Special

“To pull a Lockdown Special”: The action of undertaking a photograph, video call or conference appearing on-camera as fully clothed and appropriately dressed, despite not wearing appropriate (or any) clothing on the lower body which is out-of-view.

A Lockdown Special may be the act of a company employee appearing on a video meeting as wearing expected business attire, when in fact they are naked from the waist down, unbeknownst to any other meeting attendees.
“Jonathan pulled a Lockdown Special yesterday. He stood up to open the window and we all saw more than we hoped for.”
