droid", "marketdroid") A member of a company's marketing
department, especially one who promises users that the next
version of a product will have features that are not actually

and/or are in violation of the laws of physics; and/or one who
describes existing features (and misfeatures) in ebullient,
buzzword-laden adspeak. Derogatory.
