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.

a neighborhood gathering place, not necessarily a fast food restaurant, that as the name suggests, is open 24/7, and where seedy activities, and adventures related to said activities, may, or are perceived to, take place.
the nearest 24 Hour McDonald's to where I live is actually, pardon the pun, a real McDonald's restaurant as well, located the corner of Mackay and St Catherine avenues in downtown Montreal, Canada

A McDonald gross is when you get all you can out of a car deal even if it means burying used cars. For example bump a trade 3 grand over average book or take a set of wheels and don’t credit used cars.

Some fat kid had a birthday party in the PlayPlace and he ended up turning it into Ronald McDonald's Feces Dungeon.
