where minutes are taken and hours are lost

A portmanteau of carpe diem, a Latin phrase that means “Seize the Day!” and DM, which stands for Direct Messages. This word means seizing the day via DMs.

A period of time used to talk about the things(work) you should do if you were not in a meeting.

Discrete term meaning to masturbate.

An opportunity to meet new friends and impress people during work time, without actually having to do any work.

The greatest exponents of the meeting never actually do any work, but still manage to progress through the company at an alarming rate. This is achieved through two key strategies:

1: The use of key words within the meeting environment such as "added value", "customer centric", "think outside the box" and "rationalisation".

2: Scheduling their time so that meetings end and bigin 5 minutes apart throughout the day. This gives them time to stride purposely through the office muttering "I musn't be late for this important meeting", thus making themselves appear incredibly valuable to the organisation, without anyone ever understanding exactly what it is they do all day.

an unnecessary exercise in bullshit and stupidity, usually brought on by others to make themselves look important and productive.

a meeting of any anonymous fellowship like a.a or n.a
