Speakerphoning
Speakerphoning is when a person constantly puts callers on speakerphone in an office. The volume is always set high enough everyone around is forced to listen to the entire conversation. It's similar to phone sex but in an office place.
"That guy in IT won't stop speakerphoning with me. I keep asking him to stop, it's so awkward!"
"The guy that sits behind me is always speakerphoning all the merchants, it's so damn annoying! I can't get any work done hearing them talk all day"

Speakerphone Warning
A courtesy notification given to the person on the other end of a telephone conversation alerting them to the fact that they are on speakerphone. This is done to prevent unintentionally offending someone within earshot of the speaker. Speakerphone warnings are especially tactful if someone that applies to one or more following traits may overhear the conversation: a minority, obese, a woman, management, your wife, an overly religious person, or a cop.
