A technique for getting decisions and perhaps even consensus from a group. This is most useful for groups who are stalled on making a decision, be it big or small.
The name comes from a common problem when a group is trying to decide where to go for lunch. Often everyone will say "I don't care, where do you want to go?" and it is not until someone makes an unpopular suggestion that their true opinion is voiced. The catalyst of saying "McDonald's!" as a proxy for the bad choice will push the group members into offering alternatives. Quickly a decision that is not McDonald's is selected.

Jennifer sketched a new website homepage design with a purposeful emphasis with the wrong call to action. This McDonald's option allowed the stakeholders to describe what corrections were needed to get to the right design.

« The seventh option » is what you call a guy that is so cute that he himself could be one of the 7 world wonders.
Mary: Hey, don’t you think that guy in the first year is cute!
Matthew: Bro… he could be the seventh option for me.

No option orders to comply specifically for people named Al. Not to be confused with the word optional which is meant for everyone else.
Failure is not an OptionAl.

What you eye-twinklingly add as a hasty "aside" after saying "hey" to someone, before they can impishly shoot back with da "standard" retort of "Hey iz fer horsiz".
I would sincerely hope dat it would be "horsiz optional" instead of "mandatory" when saying "hey" to someone... not dat I don't totally love those large gorgeous friendly four-legged mammals, but I wouldn't wanna hafta care for a whole herd of dem.

An option c bitch is the kind of female who isn't even your back up plan. She is usually bangable, but only in dire circumstances, and usually only once. Only resort to an option c bitch if you're desperate for pussy.
Both Carly and Sydney bailed on me and now i'm stuck with Maddie, and she's barely an option c bitch. I'm not too proud of myself, but I really need to get laid.
