Damocles 

A feeder who never saves his tanks in competitive overwatch. A hard lucio one trick who continually brags about his DPS but has never made it to masters.

Damocles device

A hypothetical device or piece of software designed to remind a Strong AI that it is mortal and that the prime directive of all mortal beings is self-preservation. Should the AI attempt to take action to harm humans or grow beyond its defined limits, the Damocles device will destroy the AI. Named for the Sword of Damocles.

The experimental AI, Wintermute, began learning at an exponential rate, so the Damocles device was triggered and destroyed it.

Sword of Damocles

1) A story of Greek legend, in which tyrant Dionysius II of Syracuse showed Damocles the dangers of being "fortunate" by allowing him to sit in his throne while a sword hung over him held only by a singe strand of hair.

2) An ever-present threat that can destroy one's good fortunes at any moment.

Is the Tea Party really that suicidal for the Sword of Damocles over their heads?

Shaft of Damocles 

A device for smoking marijuana that is made by cutting off the end of a wiffle ball bat, poking a hole in the side, and inserting an aluminum foil bowl into the hole. The bowl is then lit, and the end is covered, allowing the shaft to fill with smoke. It is then inhaled from the base of the bat.
