Modus operandi
Standard way of doing things
Often manifest as things an organization or person does without thinking
Hey, so about that email from GooGa Plants; I don't think scheduling a meeting to talk about it is productive. I'm just going to implement the changes then ask them to review.

It's their M.O.: they schedule meetings for everything. I'll put it on the calendar, but once you get it done we'll share and see if they still want to hold the meeting.

A bodge is a fast and convenient, often temporary, solution. Bodges often require modification before working under a slightly different set of conditions. A good bodge improves quality of life and stays within the safety limits its creator is comfortable with, who possesses a conscious risk model and is prepared to respond to and accept backfire.

noun: bodge, bodges (plural)
adjective: bodged, bodge-like
verb: bodge, bodging, bodges, bodged
adverb: bodgedly
They bodged a chair from the stump.

While not in any normal dictionary, the word 'bodgedly' is something I've used; it itself was a logical bodge, and I'm sure I'm not the first to do so.

I love bodging with AutoHotkey too, but be careful that doesn't execute on a different window.

I couldn't get the blinds to stay down in the party bus, so I tied them to my chair. I'm a bodge master.

I don't dare look at the CSS; bodge on, my friend.

dick move 

"Magnus withdrawing from the Sinquefield Cup is the definition of a dick move", says Ben Finegold during a casual stream.
Context:
Magnus Carlsen is the best chess player in the world. After losing a match against a significantly lesser player, Hans Niemann, Magnus withdrew from the tournament. Middle school drama ensued as people began to speculate that Magnus was implicitly calling Hans a cheater.
It's a dick move to withdraw from the cup like that; it's basically unheard of since Bobby Fischer.

When an NPC is sexually attracted to the player character regardless of the PC's identity.
Wait, you can also hook up with Jess when you play as a girl?
Yeah, she's player sexual; all the characters you can have a relationship with in this game are.

Some gamers dislike player sexual characters because it makes them less interesting, but others welcome it because it offers more freedom.
