Welcome to what is the first of I what I think will be a semi-regular section of this blog, which I've decided to title "Let's Get Real!" Let's Get Real will explore the difference between the supposed definition of a word and what it often actually means in the real world. Today's word isnetworking
If you look it up at dictionary.com, this is the definition you get:
networking (n): a supportive system of sharing information and services among individuals and groups having a common interest
Let's Get Real! Here's the real meaning:
networking (n): 1. Sitting around a table and talking 2. Having lunch with some friends and talking about the NFL 3. Going to Hooters with a guy on his company credit card, getting drunk, and possibly violating state purchasing laws in the process.
