Stand-up
A corporate euphemism for "daily status meeting" that makes boring updates sound like an agile methodology, usually involving people standing around awkwardly while nothing gets accomplished.
Examples
Examples:
- "Our daily stand-up is at 9 AM." (our daily waste of time is at 9 AM)
- "Stand-ups keep us aligned." (stand-ups remind us how little we've done)
- "The stand-up was productive." (the stand-up was slightly less pointless than usual)
