Pseudo “leverage”

A situation where one side at the negotiating table flaunts their so-called “leverage” without realizing that by showing their cards, they’ve pretty much given away all their power because they’ve become entirely predictable.

Me: Damn, dawg - I was playin’ against some invisible niggbo and it was freakey how them hits kept cummin’ outta nowhere - but once he lost his mask, all I could see is a weak, old dude puffing up his chest, trying to be scary ...
Dawg: Kay, so small fries after that, right? Buncha pseudo “leverage”?
Me: Aye, piece of cake. Dickbo didn’t realize he didn’t have shit one me 🤣
Dawg: Tite!

leverage partner

Relationships often have a dominant and submissive partners. When one partner has leverage they have the power to get what they want from the other partner almost always.

“She gets her way with him because she’s hot, she is the leverage partner in that relationship.”

Lethal leverage

The act of taking advantage of the grandparents' generousity for gain by the grandchildrens' parents by putting them on a pedistool.

The parents of the grandchildren want to buy a house even though they do not have sufficient funds. The parents get the grandparents to cosign for the home using the grandchildren as lethal leverage since an apartment is no place to raise a kid.
