Sidebar
A corporate euphemism for "wasting time" that makes pointless digressions sound like a sophisticated meeting technique, usually used when people want to avoid the actual agenda.
Examples
Examples:
- "Quick sidebar." (let's waste 20 minutes talking about nothing)
- "Can we do a sidebar on this?" (can we avoid doing any real work?)
- "That's a sidebar for later." (that's something we'll never discuss again)
