silentaccept
/ˌsaɪləntəkˈsɛpt/nounVerified NewAccepting a meeting invitation with no intention of attending, purely to close the loop.
The accept clears the request from both calendars' anxiety; the meeting proceeds at a lower headcount and a higher illusion. Silentaccepts are discovered only by roll call, which is why roll calls keep being taken.
Etym. — silent + accept: consent given to end the negotiation, not to join the event.
