When a states-person is saved by events beyond their control, normally the manifesting as a polling spike. Named for the effect of the Falklands War on the British 1983 General Election, and closely related to the Machiavellian concept of 'Fortuna'.

Falkland Island Flickergooning

When one completes a Falkland Island Flickergooning session, which involves gooning whilst flicking the firefighter's cap of a man's penis while taking part in a tribal ritual around a campfire, one is taken back to the year 1982 at the beginning of the Falklands War.

Hey man, just finished Falkland Island Flickergooning. Really helped ease my stress; You know, it's final's week.
Dude, I'm gonna try that. Weed just doesn't hit the same.
