The von Clausewitz Gambit is an unusual opening move on a dating app, whereby the person making the opening move delivers a pick-up line derived from Carl von Clausewitz, usually as a reference to his masterpiece 'Vom Kriege' ('On War').
"Did you see that screenshot Kevin put in the groupchat? He used the von Clausewitz Gambit on a girl he matched with on Hinge!"
"Yeah man that's insane, I can't believe it worked!"

Get the Duck Vonmug. King Von, also known as Dayvon Daquan Bennett, was a rapper from Chicago who came up in the original drill scene with others like Chief Keef and Lil Durk. Although he didn't have early, mainstream success like Keef, Von became a legend in the notorious O Block's history.
Many YouTubers and rap contemporaries have called King Von a demon and alleged that he was a real serial killer. Like earlier this year, a meme format about how King Von was moving in 2012 went viral, showing a compilation of interviewees speaking about Von like the anti-Christ.
King Von passed away at age 26 in November 2020. He's left behind a controversial legacy. In memes, the infamy of King Von is often subverted through irony, evident in the "stare" image macros that use unserious captions to oppose King Von's evilness.
The image itself, of King Von staring into the camera, is from his posthumous music video "Demon." The moment of him staring is at the video's 1:58-minute mark. It was also used as the video's YouTube thumbnail.
The image was first used in memes in 2024, following viral TikTok slideshows shared in September. One of the first was posted by TikToker @beruoa who joked about rejecting a 2 man proposal from an unhinged homie.
One of the top comments on the video called it the "King Von anti-piracy screen," riffing on the visuals of "anti-piracy" warnings seen before video games, movies and TV, like the famous "You Wouldn't Steal a Movie" PSA from the early 2000s.
