Proxy

One sent along to a shareholders’ meeting (and AGM, EGM, that kind of thing) with a piece of paper entitling her to vote on behalf of a registered shareholder. A special type of agent.

Also, a sort of synthetic jet-lag, caused by cohabiting with people — children, usually — who have actual jet-lag.
