nuclear option

The term for the Republican maneuver to severely limit filibusters in the Senate, thereby granting a large amount of power to a simple Majority.

Nuclear Option

When a group outlandishly robbed something, then whine as if they are being mistreated when others try to interject them from bringing the stolen good home.

Blimp Option

A literal example of blue-sky thinking. Choosing an option that is so ridiculous that no one else has thought of it.

Sniper Bob: How are we gonna shoot the hostage-taker when there isn't a tall enough building nearby?

Sniper Joe: Dude, take the blimp option.
