How it's used
Refers specifically to a casual or informal catch up rather than a formal business appointment. It carries a sense of warmth and intimacy, often used between friends or colleagues who have not seen each other for a while. Unlike formal terms for meetings, this implies a relaxed atmosphere where the duration is intentionally kept short.
