Greek Deadline

A hard deadline which absolutely, positively, must be met or the world will end. Or not. Whatever.

"In other news, another Greek deadline for resolving their fiscal crisis has come and gone. Finance ministers are now saying that the REAL deadline for resolving this crisis is in two weeks."

artificial deadline

A random deadline to complete a task, which has no real world consequences. For example, your office sets Monday as the deadline on all canned food donations for charity , but the box just sits there until Friday, which is the actual day they planned on taking it to the food bank.

"Hey bro, did you get your weekly report done for the big boss? He needs it today!"

"Naaah, it's only Wednesday. Wednesday's an artificial deadline, because he doesn't even send those reports to corporate for another week."

drop-deadline

The firmest of deadlines, reflecting a finality beyond which is decidedly too late.

I told the reporter I needed the article by Thursday, allowing a couple of comfort days until my actual drop-deadline of Saturday.

Giske deadline

A hard deadline to accomplish a task or make a decision, primarily for a politician, forced upon by several auditors independent of political orientation. Despite the last property, most of the auditors are hardcore feminists. Failure to comply will most likely cause the disruption of political influence and general distrust of the arbiter.

The result or outcome of the decision or task is expected to be in favour of the auditors.

Etmyology: from the Norwegian politician Trond Giske who allegedly sexually harassed several female co politicians and who is subject for exclusions by the leadership of the Norwegian Labour Party.

"The Giske deadline is tomorrow at noon. If you don't comply or we don't like the result, be prepared for Bedlam"

sprint a deadline

to release a deadline so late there's essentially no genuine chance of hitting it

A: How's the project looking?
B: Well, I seem to be on track for the next milestone, but I get the boss is about to sprint a deadline on me.

Movie Deadline

A fictional time or date by which something should be completed, ususally according to a movie, television show, video game, science fiction book, or bullshit artist.

Example 1:

Dude: "It's 2015. Weren't we supposed to have hoverboards like Marty McFly in Back To The Future II by now?"

Girl : Nah, "2015" was just a movie deadline. We're just kicking that hoverboard shit off in 2015 and the tech for it kind of sucks right now.

Example 2:

Girl: "Jake said he was going to marry me by 2012. It's 2015 -- I guess that 2012 bullshit was just a 'movie deadline.'"
