flash mobA phenomenon in which the organizer contacts a list of people by e-mail with instructions to gather at a public venue. The messages may be forwarded to friends, who forward to more people. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some distraction such as waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds.
