Dilisio blunder

When one makes a mistake on the opening move of a board game and will not be able to win the game as a result. This is usually said in jest as in "I see you're placing the settlement on a 10 stone, that'll prove to be a Delisio blunder" (Catan) but can be serious "You bid 18 victory points to be the first player?!? On turn one!?! What a Dilisio blunder!" (Five Tribes). This phrase was coined during a Dice Tower Top Ten list posted on October 15, 2020.

Do you know that you just pulled a Dilisio blunder?

I'm just trying to avoid the Dilisio blunder here.

cad and bounder

This phrase is worth noting precisely because it does not belong in this dictionary: it makes sense in a moral universe that has utterly vanished. The last "cad and bounder" died, perhaps, about 1947 (see London Daily Telegraph obituaries for further evidence).

Although they are appropriately linked, the precise meanings differ. A "cad" is one who does harm to a woman's honor or sense of self-worth as, for example, by taking her for a garden walk when he has no intention of marrying her. A "bounder" is a presumptious upstart, seemingly ignorant of, but perhaps merely indifferent to, fundamental norms of propriety.

You, sir, are a cad and a bounder.

A cad perhaps, but no bounder. My family goes back to William I.
