Consultation

(Chiefly British:) A period before a decision (such as a new regulation) takes effect, during which opposed opinions are heard.

A consultation usually takes place after an unpopular resolution has been made by the authorities. Usually a consultation offers the illusion that people's opinions matter and that said decision can change, where in fact they are merely designed to let steam out.

Consultations also 'cover the decision maker's arse': when the decision turns out to be a mistake, the absence of public records of the consultations allows the decision maker to claim to share the responsibility.

The announcement of budget cuts was followed by a brief consultation, during which everyone chickened out and nobody spoke up.

Coochie Consultation 

To set an appointment to have sex with a woman. Much like a dick appointment, but is used by males and lesbians, used only to fuck with no feelings.

Bro, I gotta go! I have a coochie consultation 🍑

Spontaneous consultation 

An explosion of ideas and collaborative exchange of information with colleagues, office mates, clinical supervisors or spouses, caused by a localized anxiety-increasing reaction for the clinician needing ideas and/or inspiration for client care and may or may not involve the addition of an alcoholic beverage.

Often characterized by a sudden bursting into an anxiety-fueled monologue with, hopefully, another professional, regarding a complicated case that has one perplexed, feeling inadequate, hopeless, or in amazement about.

As soon as I got home from work I had a spontaneous consultation with my wife about an issue at work.

Consolation Text

When you send out a text to one of your closest friends in the event that the people you are with ignore you, therefore, making it awkward. It makes it look like you are doing something, and not just a complete loser.

*You Texting*: Hey bro, this is a consolation text, my girlfriend went talk to some people I don't know.

*Friend Texting*: Dude, I feel your pain..my girlfriend does that to me all of the time.

consolation

Relief or comfort in sorrow or suffering.

Although we miss our dog very much, it is a consolation to know that she died quickly, wihtout suffering.

Consolation Fries 

The french fries in the bottom of the fast food bag. Just when the disappointment sets in that you've finished your fries, you are pleasantly surprised to find a few more Consolation Fries at the bottom of the bag.

I was sad when I finished my fries before I got home, but at least there are Consolation Fries left.
