A scenario, usually brought up at work, in which a tree falls ontop of you the next day.
Usually this is brought up to force you to document your work, so others can continue/finish it if something would happen to you, whether this is you actually dying or you getting replaced by someone cheaper.

Get the worst case scenarioismmug. Getting worked up over something that hasn't happened, does not currently have a high chance of happening, and yet someone is venting about what could happen if it does, in fact, happen. This usually involves an unknown number of people being distracted by such an occurrence. Sometimes, it even ends up including all people involved in the conversation even though there's absolutely nothing productive about having the conversation to begin with.
Scenario Venter: If we do this now, who knows what could happen. Like, if we do this and all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore, all hell is going to break loose.
Logical Person Involved: Just change the damn batteries. You're scenario venting over something that is so unlikely to be an issue and you're wasting everyone's time.

Get the rape scenariomug. A specific type of Black Swan Event scenario where even the knowledge that something is possible presents incredible danger, making it difficult for the discoverers to seek counsel on how to handle the information, and leaving them with the ethical dilemma of whether to share the information (and hope people police how its used), destroy their findings (prisoner's dilemma that it may be rediscovered by someone else later), or guard the secret to the grave.
Named after the Deplorable Word from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magicians Nephew, where in the universe of Charn, there existed a single spell which, if uttered, would instantly exterminate all life in said universe, except its speaker (ultimately used by Queen Jadis to this effect, who would go on to be the White Witch). Prior, wiser Kings and Queens knew it existed and banned even seeking knowledge of it.

The discovery of the incredible amount of energy released by Nuclear Fission and its potential for use in weapons presented a Deplorable Word Scenario for its discoverers. If they kept quiet and burned their research, how long would it be before someone else discovered it? How long would it be before someone used it?
