pro forma
pro forma
Done as a formality. From Latin, literally "for the sake of form." A: "What exactly happens in a pro forma session of Congress?" B: "They just meet for a few minutes because they are technically in session. No one votes or anything." Please, this is just some pro forma PR statement so companies won't drop him from their payroll.
