A defense strategy where one seeks to extricate oneself from a bad situation by claiming to be innocent by (a usually absurd) technicality. Named for former US president Bill Clinton, who popularized this strategy in the 1990s with his creative explanations for how he didn't actually smoke weed because he didn't "inhale", and most infamously, how he didn't technically lie when he said there is no sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky because "it depends on what the definition of "is" is."
Person 1: I just read an article about how Senator Rob Johnson claimed he didn't technically commit a crime by being involved in a plot to replace legitimate Electoral College electors with fraudulent ones in the 2020 election, because he was only involved for "a couple seconds"...
Person 2: A Republican using the Bill Clinton Gambit? Oh the sweet irony.

"Don't break the seal man, once you start you'll open the floodgates!" Chad hassled me at the party. Little did he know, I was quite the master of the Seald Gambit. 50% of the time it works everything.

A marketing strategy to garner more publicity from cancellation of a product or feature, than through traditional methods such as an award or introducing something new.
There's no marketing budget this year, so we used a Cancellation Gambit to get some free PR by news outlets.

In a move so brainless and unintelligent, a player will sacrifice his queen for a piece of considerably lower value. The move is so questionable one might reason that ‘bigger forces are at play’.
