Anyone care to explain what a 'standup' is for those of us (lucky enough?) to not have heard the term outside of the context of a comedy club?

  part of agile methodologies is the idea that instead of having long weekly meetings you just have some short daily stand-up meetings, in which team members expose what they are working on, what problems they have, and what they need to proceed, if something needs deep discussion it's not fully solved there, but it can be brought up. The "stand up" part is motivated by the idea that the attendees do the meeting while standing instead of sitting around a table, which implicitly should lead to short and focused meetings

  It's the daily circle-jerk. If you don't know what that is, then I envy you.

  It's when the people stealing the precious moments of your life, take five or sixty minutes out of their busy schedule of not actually working (see: meetings), and dunk your head in the baptismal toilet of despair, and force you at knife point to pledge undying fealty to your own enslavement. Then they make you recite the tickets you have worked on, are working on, and shall work on, in reverse chronological order, with an alphabetical sub-sort, and then clap and praise Martin Fowler, after exclaiming each ticket number. Then, while you're waiting on the other drones to complete their turn, you stick a finger in your nose, and a finger up your butt, and each time a worker drone finishes their roll call, you switch.
