option paralysis

The tendency, when given unlimited choices, to make none.

I've been offered three jobs this week, but I have option paralysis, so I think I'll just stay here at my McJob.

The option

You always have the option, no matter what.

Student 1: 10 page report! WTF!
Student 2: Don't do it. I'm not going to.
Student 1: You need to! It's required to pass the class
Student 2: No, you have the option not to.
Student 1: BUT YOU WILL FAIL THE CLASS!!!
Student 2: I know, but you don't have to do the report if you don't want to. You have the option to fail if you want.

The Figel Option

A term used in beer pong that replaces a team mate for usually just a throw. The replacement can be anyone near the table choosen by the single player. This term is put in effect if the missing team mate taken a piss, droppin a deuce, or just unavalible at the time of his throw. This keeps the game flowing.

"Yo my team mate went to drop a deuce, imma have to run the figel option."

No Option

A 'No Option', is a term used to describe the action of a man (typically) going in for a pull (kiss) without the unspoken agreement of the other person (typically a women) – often ends in a slap, punch (from the annoyed boyfriend) or a pull. The term is infamous & frequently used among the UK's University Ski Clubs such as the MMUFS and SKUM.

When a group of lads are out on the pull, typically one will be smashed – walk up to a hot bird who they'd had some kind of brief communication with maybe an acquaintance and try and pull a No Option on them regardless of the situation or status of that person (ie with the boyfriend / married maybe).

Option-Mong

When you give someone 2 or more options and they reply 'Yes'; making the situation confusing.

Dave: "You wanna go to the cinema tonight or go get something to eat?"

Sarah: "Yeah."

Dave: "Looks like we've got another option-mong here."

Best Option

A pompous ass that proclaims he can do something, which far exceeds any capabilities he really has. This usually occurs in a person who has an inflated ego and has been drinking heavily. When he attempts to backup his talk, he fails miserably and is a complete embarrassment.

Oh, you need someone on your team for beach volleyball? The rest of these guys suck. I could've been on the Olympic team if I wanted, so it's pretty obvious that you should choose me. I'm your "Best Option"!

Optional

Not mandatory; A decision can be made in this situation.

Watching TV is more often than not optional.
