While drunk, making the responsible decision to end the night on your own terms; because you know if you don't the rest of your night will only get worse.
Kat- "Hey Tony what happened last night? You missed the after party."
Tony- "Sorry, I had to pull a tactical pass out before shit got real ugly."

A strategically placed or launched whale (typically launched by trebuchet) at the base of a wall, castle, or building that given at least a month, will strategically explode. Not dissimilar to a Trojan horse.

"Boogeyman Tactics: A rhetorical strategy where someone tries to distract from the real issue by creating or exaggerating a threat that doesn't actually exist. Instead of addressing the actual argument, they shift focus to a made-up or overblown danger—like a modern-day 'boogeyman'—to manipulate others into fear or compliance. It's a form of red herring meant to derail the conversation and avoid dealing with the real problem."
Person A: "We really need to start reducing our carbon footprint at home. The evidence on climate change is overwhelming, and we should be doing our part to help."
Person B: "I don't think that's the real issue. What we should really be worried about is how immigration is out of control. More people coming into the country means more strain on our resources and more pollution. We should focus on that instead."
In this example, Person B is using Boogeyman Tactics by shifting the conversation from climate change to immigration, a different issue altogether. This is a red herring intended to derail the discussion about reducing their carbon footprint, by bringing up an unrelated and exaggerated threat of increased pollution due to immigration.

tactical dispersion
A term for spreading or separating of personnel, materials, strategic elements, bases, and/or activities which might otherwise be concentrated in limited spaces to minimize vulnerability.

The use of social distancing and tactical dispersion terms by security forces during domestic protests need to be carefully phrased, so they are not misinterpreted.

1) When one is trying to describe "Gestapo Tactics", but is as clueless as WWII scholar and Holocaust historian Marjorie Taylor Greene.
2) A sarcastic comment on contemporary American policing tactics when they use ridiculously-excessive shows of force against non-existent threats to public safety.
3) Any comically-excessive intimidation tactic that's completely out of proportion to the threat. (if any)
Also see "Gazpacho Police"

Sending thirty cops to a Tesla dealership where nothing was happening was nothing but blatant Gazpacho Tactics and a waste of resources.
