Lunch and Learn

Noun · Slang & Abbreviations

Definitions

  1. An informal session where people learn about a topic during lunch, often as a low-friction way to share knowledge. In engineering slang, lunch and learns are useful when genuinely educational and annoying when they become performative calendar filler.

    In plain English: An informal learning session held during lunch.

    Example: "The team held a lunch and learn on the migration because too much operational knowledge was still trapped in private chats and personal memory."
