What is "meet market"

n. (alternative form of meat market English)

Meet market or meat market, is an originally pejorative term referring to two related phenomena:

• a location or activity in which people are viewed as commodities and

The term has, in general, evolved to mean a place or activity at which single persons congregate, and has become, for the most part, value neutral or positive.
