meeting

In most cases, "meeting" is used as a countable noun. You can have "a meeting" or "many meetings." When referring to a formal business gathering, it is common to use verbs like "hold," "call," or "attend" (e.g., "to hold a meeting"). As an adjective, "meeting" usually appears in compound nouns, such as "meeting room" or "meeting point," describing the purpose of the place.

Pass. I'm not wasting my time in another pointless sync.

David uses the corporate buzzword 'synergy' incorrectly to sound visionary, while Brian uses the slang 'sync' (short for synchronization meeting) and a blunt tone to show his disdain for corporate bureaucracy.
