During a work meeting

I'm sure we all are on a few meetings here and there where you know your input isn't going to be needed, so you zone out and start posting on gamefaqs. But unexpectedly, your ears perk up when you hear "TaylorHeinicke, any ideas for next steps?"

What do you say when you have zero fucking clue what was just asked?

Mine is usually something like a delayed response, trying to get the "TaylorHeinicke it looks like you're muted" follow-up. Then I come off and say "Sorry all, I've been running into a few internet issues for this past hour or so and the audio has been choppy, I only heard a few words of that, along with my name there at the end! Can you try that again or write a short summary in the meeting chat?"

Works every time.

Yeah that doesn't work for me since the only meetings where that's likely to happen the CTO is on those meetings and I'm not going to be able to bullshit my way through him. I have to pay attention.

I just ask them to repeat it. Everyone already knows you're not paying attention.

"I'm sorry, can you repeat that?" or something along those lines.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't listening." Usually followed by a coffee cup thrown at my head.
