Screenshot Gambit

When you post a statement the owner of the server disagrees with and screenshot it, so that if they delete it you can post the screenshot to make them look like an opinion censoring ass. Usually results in a ban since there's nothing they can counter it with, but if enough people see it, it can be DEVASTATING to that person's reputation.

GuyMan: Hey, did you see me pull the screenshot gambit on DumbIdiot last night?

DudePerson: Yeah, I can't believe he actually fell for it, what a dumbass.

the parson's gambit

In it's purest form, the parson's gambit involves nothing more than a surprise attack while a man is in the irreversible throes of digestive egress. In other words, harassing a man while he is taking a shit. As it is commonly known that once a bowel movement has begun, no power on earth can stop it. The victim will therefore be forced to endure any and all schemes and embarrassments imaginable.

Oh man, did you see the parson's gambit Todd set up in the locker room?" "No, what happened." "Eddy was minding his own business, dropping a deuce, when Todd snuck over the stall and nailed him with an air horn and that aerosol cheese. There was nothing he could do but sit there and take it until the dirty business was done." "Stone Cold.

Ackerman Gambit

Accusing someone with a winning argument of racism as a distraction.

Named for journalist Spencer Ackerman, who promoted the strategy on the email listserv "JournoList" as a means for journalists to avoid having to cover the Jeremiah Wright controversy.

This reckless spending during a time of record deficits is irresponsible.
Racist!
An Ackerman Gambit? I've read the JournoList, too, y'know ...

beebelbrox's gambit 

Any drink taken, while drunk, in an attempt to sober up. Different from hair of the dog in that a gambit is always consumned while still drunk, usually in a fit of drunk logic. Named after the character Zaphoid Beebelbrox of "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy."

Guy 1: Maybe I should have another drink. Send one down to see what the other five are doing

Guy 2: Bad idea man, Beebelbrox's gambit never works.

Emo Gambit 

A practice often used by teenagers and the emotionally unstable/immature where the threat of suicide is employed to either prevent a break-up, or begin a relationship, with someone who is clearly uninterested.

I really need to break things off with him, since he's getting clingy, but I don't want him throwing an Emo Gambit.

stalwart gambit 

A maneuver in which one friend makes a sacrifice and talks to the ugly girls while the other friend leaves the group, creates an exit strategy, and finally rescues the first friend.

Dude, we pulled off a nice stalwart gambit last night. When you ran ahead, got pizza for both of us, and we left those girls waiting in line, I was amazed.
