A term used in certain sports that involve intimidation. When you have 2 intimidating people, you don't put them one right after the other. That would be a
mountain. If you spread out the intimidating people, you make a
plateau. This is to ensure that throughout the whole game there will
always be an intimidating person to come.

plateau.
Big Intimidating Guy 1: A what?
Big Intimidating Guy 2: An intimidation
plateau.
Big Intimidating Guy 1: Ok.
