OptionAl

No option orders to comply specifically for people named Al. Not to be confused with the word optional which is meant for everyone else.
Failure is not an OptionAl.

Good-option dilemma

The good-option dilemma is that typical scenario where—for example—some evil authority figure holding you hostage gives you two options: one where you suffer the most and the other where you don't suffer as long as you give them what they want. Obviously you pick the second option out of desperation, but the dilemma here is that no matter what option you choose, in the end the evil figure will still make you suffer (typically by being killed or watching your loved ones die).
I had a good-option dilemma today where my computer's SSD got corrupted and I either had two options: wipe everything and do a clean reinstall of Windows, or pay a few hundred bucks to have some specialist recover the contents. So I paid for the recovery but the people shipped back the wrong drive with somebody else's files! So in the end, I had to wipe my drive no matter which option I went for. This is the good-option dilemma in a nutshell.

Options Gamer

An Options Gamer is a person who has to adjust the settings first before even playing a game rather than after to see if settings need to be adjusted. Also applies to people who have to look at the options without changing them before playing a video game.
"Hey babe, how come you haven't started the game yet?"
"Sorry I just have to make sure the settings suit my monitor and if all the sensitivity is right!"
"Why don't you wait to play to see if you need to change anything?"
"Look, I just know okay"
"Ugh, you're such an Options Gamer"

That's not an option

And not because I "just don't want to" but because I foresaw the need for me to be unable to cede control. Initially. If I have it, it is too late for me to do anything about it. I don't think you understand what is happening here and I think it's the result of your misconceptions about power.
Hym "That's not an option. Literally. You are telling me to do something I can't and you're refusing to accept that I just do not have to submit to your will. And that is literally all this is about. You need to accept that things have changed and that the way that you have been telling people things work isn't actually the case. Additionally... Fuck you, bitch! Heh. But seriously, I don't actually have the power to do the thing you want me to do. It does not turn off... If you don't do what I said. If you don't understand that, then you aren't fit to be making decisions and you need to be removed from a decision making role, immediately."

Optional October

This is the prelude to "no-shave November." It is where shaving becomes optional due to a variety of factors, including the beginning of the MLB playoffs, your favorite NFL team being 3-1, plain old laziness, or the fact that one just needs some practice not shaving. It can also relate in northern tier states to the beginning of deer bow hunting.
Dude, you didn't shave today. Are you prepping for "No-Shave November?" "Yep, but it has a name. It's called Optional October."
