As I was browsing the Oxford Word of the Year 2008 List after hearing of Frugalista being one of the selections, I was surprised to see Topless Meeting share the spotlight.
Nothing kinky here as Meetings going ‘topless’ by Jessica Guynn (LA Times, March 2008) tells us that it only relates to meetings 'in which the participants are barred from using their laptops, Blackberries, cellphones…"
Also work related is Moofer or "a mobile out of office worker – ie. someone who works away from a fixed
workplace, via Blackberry/laptop/wi-fi etc. (also verbal noun, moofing)".
No sticks turned up yet I see CarrotMob getting a mention and described as "a flashmob type of gathering, in which people are invited via the Net
to all support and reward a local small ethical business such as a shop
or café by all patronizing it at the same time. Also as noun,
carrotmobbing."
Language gets geeky for Monday Work Etiquette # 65
