counterplan 

(1)If you are the Negative: the only way to combat a massive affirmative case with irrationally large advantages, and liars for internal link authors who lie too well for their own damn good.(2) If you are the Affirmative: when the Neg tries to jack your advantages and outwiegh them with a miniscule risk of a stupid, wimpy DA.
(1)"I got lucky because they didn't have any minisculeagencythatpretendstobetopical key cards, so my agent counterplan worked."

(2)"We pretty much won the spending DA, but they won at the point where they got a .000000001% risk that their counterplan solved for their stupid Mead evidence."

Countertenor 

The highest male voice; in speaking and singing, countertenors have the normal range of a tenor, but are able, by singing in falsetto, to go higher, into the contralto/alto range, mezzo-soprano range, and, with the great ones, into the soprano range.

They are usually assigned roles written originally for the castratos, yanking those roles away from the contraltos.
Is that a female alto singing...? It sounds different... it's probably a countertenor.

Countertenor 

An adult male vocalist who has pretty much an unbroken voice- (whereas, most blokes' voices break at puberty), and who, as a result of this failure to lose his "baby voice" at puberty, remains able to sing in the vocal tessituras- (ranges, to the non-singer), of the female Alto, Mezzo-soprano, and very occasionally, Soprano, without having to resort to the use of Falsetto- (false voice.)
True Countertenors are a very rare thing. Most blokes who think they're Countertenors are actually Falsettists, who sing in the Countertenor registers, using Falsetto- (false voice.)

Plan Inclusive Counterplan 

Used in policy debate, a plan inclusive counterplan is one that picks one single, irrelevant, stupid little thing of the affirmative plan and does all of plan minus that. Then, the 1NC will bitch about why that irrelevant, insignificant thing is really really bad. Typically, bad, lazy squads such as universities from the state of Kansas, will run these arguments.
Fuck, we're hitting KSU! We need to prep for a PIC (plan inclusive counterplan) debate!
