a project or task is in progress. It was created because some stupid project manager at work was always using buzz words he heard his other idiot project manager peers using. we decided that we would start making them up and using them around him so his peers would have no idea what he was talking about and he would think he was up on his techie lingo. Example: the project is hot in the box.
