When you're beat so you drink a bunch of caffeine and then take a nap, so when you wake up you're hella pumped
I was beat from playing call of duty modern warfare 2019 all night, so I had to pull a slingshot maneuver to make it to class

Get the slingshot maneuver mug.
Used to describe a scenario where you have to slow down or go backwards (pull back) before you can rocket forward (accelerate out of the slignshot). This could be a scenario in life, in business, etc.

Also often used to as an excuse if things are going poorly / failing.
Mike swears firing the team before finding replacements is a surefire slingshot maneuver, but I think he's incompetent and full of shit.
