Clay Pigeons

A term referring to when you are in a business meeting and everyone is at a standstill on new ideas or a compromise. Nothing has progressed after hours. So everyone throws new, lucid, off-fangled ideas out into the open. It's a metaphor that comes from a hunting exercise, where to prep for a hunt, one shoots clay pigeons instead of real pigeons. You're just throwing stuff up in the air -- hopefully something hits. Akin to throwing darts until someone hits close to the bullseye.

Nick: Hey, Alissa Heinerscheid, we've been at this business proposal for hours and it's going nowhere. Let's just throw up some clay pigeons and see if something hits. I'll let you start.

Alissa Heinerscheid: Well Nick there's this one LGTBQ+ influencer out there...

Nick: Get the FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE! (Holds recording device to his mouth) Note to self: No more trannie-influencer-ideas and hey, waiter, "I'll take two clay pigeons to go".

Game Pigeon Purgatory

When you’re playing any Game Pigeon game (usually Crazy 8) with your friends and one of them leaves or turns their phone off, meaning they cannot complete their turn and you or your friends are trapped in an endless purgatory where nobody can move on to their turn because it cannot become their turn.

The only way to exit this Game Pigeon purgatory is to quit and make a new game, excluding the previously absent player.

Person #1: Wait, why isn’t Lauren going? It’s her turn.
Person #2: She turned her phone off. Nobody else can play now. Guess we’re trapped in a Game Pigeon Purgatory.
Person #1: Fuck Lauren

Rigid Pigeon

The term "rigid pigeon" refers to a state or condition characterized by extreme stiffness, inflexibility, or strict adherence to rules, norms, or procedures. It stands in direct contrast to the notion of being "loosey goosey," implying a lack of relaxation, adaptability, or freedom in approach, behavior, or mindset. This phrase typically describes someone or something that is overly structured, constrained, or resistant to change, often lacking spontaneity or the ability to improvise.

The manager's rigid pigeon approach stifled innovation within the project.

Petrol Pigeon

A nickname for the Royal Airforce. But also commonly used by the Army Cadets to refer to an Air Cadet who may religiously play War Thunder and/or DCS in a derogatory manner.

"Toby's such a petrol pigeon, all he does is yap about F-16s and his shitty little Grob Tutor. It's not 1940 the Battle of Britain, he should get over himself."

Pigeon

Hammonton’s mean, lean, killing machine of an Army. These feathered friends look cute and soft on the outside but are equipped with military grade weapons. You do not want to get on the pigeons bad side. #coo

Oh no, the pigeon saw Hammonton’s Public Enemy #1.
