Drop the Minky (v): to be so out of touch with one's intended audience that one drops or retcons one of the most popular plots without realizing it will have negative consequences. Shooting oneself in the foot plot-wise.
You've probably dropped the Minky if:
- You are unaware that you've dropped the Minky, and are convinced that that new plot where your heroine finds fulfillment as a stripper/nymphomaniac/farmer is completely in character and inspired to boot.
- You take to the net to sternly lecture anyone who asks you why the hell you've dropped the Minky.
- You find yourself tweeting things like "LOL trust me, it's going to be great" over and over and over, and yet no one seems to be buying it.
- You use increasingly desperate language to prop your unpopular changes, especially words like "epic" and "brilliant", until finally declaring you don't care what the audience thinks anyway, you're an ARTIST and a REBEL and neither of those have ever had it easy in the face of oppression/the man/the establishment.
- You accuse fans of interrogating your work from the wrong perspective.
- Creepy people thank you for dropping the Minky.

Example 1:
Writer A: We've got to check out the fandom before we sit down and plot the sequel to our bestselling Vampires vs Aliens novel, make sure we've got all our bases covered so we can write a satisfying and cool book.
Writer B: Yeah, we don't want to drop the Minky, that'd be so embarrassing.
Example 2:
Fan 1: Wow, did you see the new episode of Rhubarb Avengers? I can't believe they're not even going to address the fact that Vincento and the countess are long lost siblings. They just killed Vincento off and by the end of the episode everyone had moved on.
Fan 2: Yeah, they totally dropped the Minky.

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
