If I recall correctly it wasn't too long ago that I had to specifically ask what it meant and the explanation provided made sense to me.  I can also see why things don't fit the definition you gave.  But the larger meta questions are - is that the correct definition, if not then are the things you incorporate into the definition part of the connotation - and unfortunately those kinds of meta questions are what this whole discussion of ours hinges upon - but not just for 'writers room' but also for every other word and term that's ever been disputed.Edit (late addition). For what it’s worth, I’m good never using the term writers room again.  But I’m not willing to do that against a backdrop where others refuse to provide me with the same kindness.</blockquote>
