Sync up
PronunciationSINK UP
Definition
A short meeting or brief conversation used to share status updates, align on progress, or clarify next steps. It is often informal and intended to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Where you hear it
In daily stand-ups, project management chats, or when a quick check-in is needed to resolve ambiguity.
Examples
Let's sync up after the meeting to discuss the new requirements.

Common mistake
Confusing a "sync up" with a formal, long meeting; it is meant to be quick and focused rather than a deep dive into complex problems.
