(1). A way to tell a job candidate “no” without actually having to say “no”. (WARNING: May lead to uncomfortable follow-up phone calls and emails.)
“Yeah, I’m not sure this guy’s firm material, you know what I mean? Well, let’s put him on a warm hold for now and call in some other candidates.”
(1). To update someone (usually your boss or your boss’s boss) on what’s been going on while they’ve been golfing.
“Since I’ve been off-site this past week, please bring me up to speed on what’s happened at the office.”
“I’ll feel better about it when I get up to speed on what’s going on.”
“Please bring me up to speed on this matter.”
“We’ll bring you up to speed on the day’s top stories after this commercial break!”

(1). An individual who acts as the gatekeeper to maintaining and editing a particular website. While virtually impossible to get a hold of, most webmasters usually leave a “Contact the Webmaster” link in the footer of a website that opens an email to the vague “webmaster@” address to toy with the outside world.
“Who’s the webmaster for our website? Can we get them on the phone? I’ve sent this person 20 emails and haven’t heard a thing. I’m starting to believe they don’t even exist!”
(2). A 40-year old man who lives in his parents’ basement and maintains a blog about comic books and D&D.
“I am Lothar of the Hillpeople! The webmaster from the great beyond! Fear the verbal wrath of my blogspot! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!”
