Death by 1000 meetings
As the modern form of an ancient torture, death by 1000 meetings is defined as the annihilation of a project, action or ultimately a person due to time wasted in having to attend a seemingly infinite amount of non-productive meetings.
This is in direct correlation to the mathematical theory which states WORK = 1 / MEETINGS, as the amount of meetings increases, the amount of tangible work gets divided to oblivion.

Peak Meeting
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.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
