Get the Plans Are Optionalmug. A technique for getting decisions and perhaps even consensus from a group. This is most useful for groups who are stalled on making a decision, be it big or small.
The name comes from a common problem when a group is trying to decide where to go for lunch. Often everyone will say "I don't care, where do you want to go?" and it is not until someone makes an unpopular suggestion that their true opinion is voiced. The catalyst of saying "McDonald's!" as a proxy for the bad choice will push the group members into offering alternatives. Quickly a decision that is not McDonald's is selected.

Get the Option Bmug. What you eye-twinklingly add as a hasty "aside" after saying "hey" to someone, before they can impishly shoot back with da "standard" retort of "Hey iz fer horsiz".
I would sincerely hope dat it would be "horsiz optional" instead of "mandatory" when saying "hey" to someone... not dat I don't totally love those large gorgeous friendly four-legged mammals, but I wouldn't wanna hafta care for a whole herd of dem.

Hym "SPEAKING OF the nuclear option, don't separate it from a power source. I see you blowing up oil factories... I mean, that's obviously the first thing you would try. Why would you think I wouldn't have thought of that already? Did you even read my thing?"
