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.'"

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.

Russian Deadline

The 'Russian Deadline' refers to the commonly made promise of the Russian Federation, specifically Vladimir Putin, on the deadline of military offensives. Similar to the Russian idiom 'China's Final Warning' (in Russian: последнее китайское предупреждение), the Russian Deadline is not completed by the date given, and in fact tends to go far over.

Examples of this include the beginning of the war in Ukraine, when Putin had told the press that the invasion would take a matter of a few weeks. - It has now been 2.5 years.

Another example, although incomplete, is the recent statement from Putin that he "has ordered the Ukrainian armed forces to be pushed out of the Kursk region by October 1st". - As a solid counter offensive has yet to even be constructed, this is highly sceptical.
"Thomas said people would start showing up around 4, but that seems to be a Russian Deadline."

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!
