frontal
adj.— «The unspoken evaluation of my performance—suspended in the silence after my conclusion—was quickly given form when one of my interviewers said that my presentation was “frontal.” “Frontal” is an educational term meaning that I had spent too much time addressing the committee, and no time inviting their participation or responding to their thoughts.» —“Learn by Disagreeing: A Philosophy” by Eric Rosin Jewish Exponent (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Sept. 7, 2006.
