Got this in an email from my company's lawyers today.
*You may not engage in any activity that could be considered premature coordination or integration (also known as "gun jumping")*.
We are acquiring another company and they don't want us to talk about it. Seems like a reasonable request but ...
I understand jumping the gun but what the heck is "gun jumping"???

The same thing, essentially, but it appears to be a bit of jargon popular in the investment and M&A (mergers and acquisitions) world. Here it is in an SEC commissioner speech from 1970.
(And it may go back to the 1930's, at least.)
