Ex 1:

Bill: I lost 50 grand...I'm definitely gonna win them back next game. I feel good about this, man.

Dave: Nah, you should be on damage control. Consider your 50 grand a sunk cost.

Ex 2:

James: I can't believe I missed that event...there's not a fuck I can do now.

Steve: You'll have to work extra hard to play catch up. You're on damage control now.

damage control

After you've done a mistake, reduce all witnesses to silence.

1) Mafia guy: "We've hit that mother and she saw we were carrying drugs, we gotta do some damage control".
2) Company guy: "An employee left the beta version of his iPhone in a bar, we sent the security for some damage control".

T.D.C. (Thot Damage Control)

This is when a woman whom has kids with another man wants to wait until marriage before ever having sex ever again with her successors.

Look at this fuck-shit meme, it says "I am a single mother with two kids. However, I will wait 'til marriage to have sex again." TF?!?!! Is this some T.D.C. (Thot Damage Control) and shit?!?
