good idea fairy cut-off date (GIF-COD)

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."

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A hopelessly outdated image format that is nowadays mostly used for animated pictures.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.
