Military term: The absolute, iron-clad, no-bull date/time when any visit by the good idea fairy will not be tolerated by anyone for any reason. For most reasonable people this is not later than the time an operation plan or order is published. For senior officers and politicians this is only a hypothetical moment that never arrives.
"The good idea fairy cut-off date (GIF-COD) for this operation is the date we issue the order to the units," said the Commander. "I will personally kill anyone who suggests anything after that."

and;

"The attack was going well until the good idea fairy struck. They failed to establish a GIF-COD.

GIF

A hopelessly outdated image format that is nowadays mostly used for animated pictures. Has ridiculous limitations such as a maximum of 256 colors and inefficient compression but keeps being used because none of the superior alternative formats ever caught on. Also, nobody seems to be able to agree on the pronounciation, for some reason.
Person: Woah, nice GIF you got there. Sucks you can see so much banding from those pesky color limitations.
GIPHY: So, are you gonna use a GIF in your definition or not?
Person: Nah, wouldn't be caught dead using one of those things. It's not like GIPHY even really uses GIFs. They're all just looped MP4s.

Resting gif-face

The loop your face makes when you’re listening but not very interested, I.E., An eye roll, nod, deep sigh, or nom-sincere smile. Sometimes unintentional, but can be done deliberately for effect.

Usually under two seconds long, and usually sarcastic or born out of sheer boredom and a desire to be polite when you’d rather be anywhere else. Also used as profile pictures on popular internet sites.
(At a dinner party, trying to tell a story)

*The person adjacent to you, nodding and smiling over and over again*
“I was trying to tell you about this, but you’re just using a resting gif-face with me”

Alternatively, “Yeah, I don’t really care about their story, so I blanked and used my resting gif-face.

Or, “Man I rewatched that video I was in, I totally had a resting gif-face”
