do it for the plot

'Do It For The Plot’: the conscious decision to see yourself as the main character of the story that is your life. You maintain the outlook that every moment - good or bad - is merely a plot point for your larger narrative. You are the writer, producer, director and star of your life. Start living unapologetically, and give them a plot twist that no one saw coming.

Coined by Serena Kerrigan

I was scared to approach that hot guy at the bar, but my friend told me to do it for the plot.

Plot Induced Stupidity

Plot Induced Stupidity, or PIS, is when characters don't use their abilities or skills to the fullest extent as shown before, even within their personality ranges, for the sake of the story plotline. It makes lesser powered characters an actual challenge against higher powered characters in the comics.

Examples of PIS include Flash stories lasting longer than three panels, or Toy Man as a threat to Superman. Standard CBR fights exempt the contestants from PIS unless otherwise specified.

Plot Contrivance

Something that happens in the plot that is highly unlikely to happen, though still technically possible.

Different from plot hole as a plot hole is something that should be impossible to happen.

A scene featuring Q giving 007 his gadgets is a staple of James Bond films.
Now imagine if the film did not feature this and we see 007 using a never-before-seen gadget to get out of a tight situation. This would be a plot contrivance, as the audience would have zero reason to believe that 007 would have a gadget of this kind, though him having this gadget is still technically not impossible, preventing it from being a plot hole.

Plotential

A highly desirable script or book concept because of the strength of both the plot and characters, and a rare Writer's unique presentation of the story.

Not many writing works have true 'plotential' since they do not add elements that dramatically build on familiar story mechanics yet are still unpredictable and/or unique.

That new independant film has 'plotential', I am so tired of all the predictable remakes of my parent's movies.

We just found a 'plotential' writer, we optioned a three script deal.

As your editor, I believe these changes will give the script more 'plotential', your writing was pretty bland and formulaic.

plort

A crystalline, poop-like substance produced by slimes in the game Slime Rancher.

Gary: "Oh, no, my cute little Tabby slimes are eating all the pink plorts! I hope they don't become Tarrs!"

Norkflord: "See, Gary, the races shouldn't mix. When the boogaloo comes, I'll hang your race-traitor corpse by a rope."

Gary: "Jesus, Norkflord. What's wrong with you? Are we actually friends? If so, what's wrong with me?"
