Also in: Besprechungsblähung (Deutsch) · reuninchazo (Español) · réungonfle (Français)

The growth of a meeting from its planned fifteen minutes to an unrecognizable hour.

Meetingbloat accretes by invite, by "one more thing," and by the arrival of people who were not needed. The agenda is outlived by the attendee list. It is the calendar's version of sprawl.

Etym. — meeting + bloat — the invite that swells after eating more attendees.

Rel. — syncswell
