In the world of collectable card games (especially magic the gathering and hearthstone), to punt is to make a mistake that causes you to lose a game you were otherwise winning.
Sometimes, people loosen the definition to include all mistakes made in a game, regardless of whether they would actually change the outcome.

I should have realized I had lethal, but I punted by targeting my lightning bolt at my opponent's creature.

Get the Puntmug. A software project management term. "Punt Time" is defined as the total time spent across the team in not doing the work. For example, if a developer opens up the issue, reads it, talks to a few people about it, and then decides to work on something else instead, the time spent doing these activities adds to the Punt Time for the issue.
The Punt Time of that bug got so damn large that I decided to just fix the bug so that I can stop attending meetings about it.

Get the Puntingmug. (pup-punt-ing)
Derived from puppy kicking.
When a writer makes their villain perform an unreasonable act that makes no logical sense with no characteristically justified reason, all for the purpose of showing just how evil they are.

Movie Critic 1: I thought the villain was well written, except for the first scene he was in when he just randomly killed his royal jester for dropping a ball while juggling.
Movie Critic 2: I agree, that was a prime example of pup-punting.
