flopportunity 

1. noun (masculine) a set of circumstances in a soccer match that makes it possible for a player to badly fake an injury despite no or little contact from an opposing player in order to be awarded a free or penalty kick.

Note: There is no known common feminine form of this noun as it is scarcely found in women's soccer.
Nearing the 85th minute, Neymar, feeling the pressure of his team's imminent loss down 1-0, senses a player from the opposing team within 5 meters of him as he enters the opponents' 18m box. He then quickly falls to the pitch, writhes in pain, holds his ankle, and grimaces as if he had just suffered an actual lower leg amputation. Subsequently, Neymar makes a penalty kick, to tie the match. A master at this skill, Neymar could scarcely afford to miss this timely flopportunity for his team.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
