A former boss once scheduled a meeting to discuss another meeting later that day. The subject of the meeting was "Pre-meeting discussion".

Have these people never heard of an agenda?

I've seen this done where you want a 10 min meeting to get all the developers on the same wavelength before a meeting with the business so everyone will contribute in way that will drive a point forward. Usually this is when moving through security checkpoints for new features / systems.

Kind of like going through TSA "nobody make any jokes I don't want to have to spend hours here explaining this."
