A task dropped verbally at your desk while the dropper is already walking away.

The deskdriveby delivers half a sentence and a departing gesture, leaving the task unconfirmed and real. Chasing the dropper for details is optional and futile. The driveby's task joins the corridorassignment in the informal workload.

Etym. — desk + drive-by — the task delivered without stopping.

Rel. — corridorassignment
