good idea fairy cut-off date (GIF-COD)

Military term: The absolute, iron-clad, no-bull date/time when any visit by the good idea fairy will not be tolerated by anyone for any reason. For most reasonable people this is not later than the time an operation plan or order is published. For senior officers and politicians this is only a hypothetical moment that never arrives.

"The good idea fairy cut-off date (GIF-COD) for this operation is the date we issue the order to the units," said the Commander. "I will personally kill anyone who suggests anything after that."

and;

"The attack was going well until the good idea fairy struck. They failed to establish a GIF-COD.

date-out

Less than a date, but more than hanging out.

Well, it was our first dinner together, but we won't call it a date just yet. But it was more than hanging out. I guess it was a date-out.

Date Buffer

A date buffer is a friend that you bring along when you hang out with someone that you're romantically interested in. The purpose of this is to make the excursion seem as if it wasn't a date, but more of a friendly gathering. In most cases though, the 'buffer' is ignored as a third wheel.

However, if you're NOT interested in the person, a date buffer can be used so that you don't send the wrong message.

1) "Dude, I wanna go out with that chick again, but I'm a wuss and I don't wanna go alone. Could you be by date buffer?"

2) "That guy's cool and all, but I don't really like him like that. Just be my date buffer today and I'll pay for your ticket."

instant date

When two people go out for a date and if they don’t like what they see, they bounce.

Man 1: “man I went out for an instant date”
Man 2: “oh yeah? How was it?”
Man 1: “Thought she would look like Halle Barry but instead looked like my big toe so I dipped”
