MarketroidMarketroid is a derogatory term referring to marketers, by combination with droid (implying that marketers are something less than human). Used fairly frequently in the computing community, particularly for marketing divisions of software companies in response to frequent vaporware announcements and other unrealistic claims. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7; public domain) has this somewhat less generous description: : alt.: marketing slime, marketeer, marketing droid, marketdroid. A member of a company's marketing department, esp. one who promises users that the next version of a product will have features that are not actually scheduled for inclusion, are extremely difficult to implement, and/or are in violation of the laws of physics; and/or one who describes existing features (and misfeatures) in ebullient, buzzword-laden adspeak. Derogatory.
