deadline chicken

Mostly relevant to those with ADHD but also neurotypicals that procrastinate or are just lazy.

The process of not doing the thing till the thing is absolutely due imminently.

John: how did you approach question 4 in the assignment that's due tomorrow?
David: yeah I've not started that yet, I'm currently playing deadline chicken

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.'"

There is no deadline

Stop telling them that there is a deadline.

Hym "There is no deadline. If I have to wait for your pretend, imaginary deadline that I am TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW DOESN'T EXIST... I swear... I will do 100% of the thing I said I would do. So... From this point on, I am going to 1% of the things I said I would do for every day that I have to wait. I will decide which of those thing constitute 1% and I will do those things in the absolute."

Canadian Deadline

A deadline which, if missed, bears no consequences or can be extended indefinitely.

My professor at UofT said we need to hand in our papers by Friday, but we all know that’s a Canadian deadline. I’ll ask for an extension until next month, and come up with some excuse for it.

deadline

Etymology: At the end of WW 2, when the British were about to overrun the German Nazi's, the Nazi's often sought to eliminate all evidence of their crimes in the internment camps. This evidence also included the prisoners. They were put in a line and killed, which had to be done before the British arrived.

We have to make a deadline before the British arrive!
