The vaguely-triangular strip of road separating a highway exit from the actual off-ramp. So named because drivers will use the space to stop and make decisions, merge through to the off-ramp after making split-second decisions, and/or crash into water-filled barrels or exit signs contained therein after failing to properly make a decision.

(To a passenger) Did you see that guy cut through the decision lane?
(To another driver) Nice use of the decision lane, idiot!
(Relating a story) Ted really needed to stop, so he parked in the decision lane.
(Relating directions) You can merge off the ramp that's next to the decision lane without any barrels.

cupcake decision

Similar to Cocaine Decision an irrationally optimistic impulsive decision to start a vintage or retro small business, with no idea of who will actually pay good money for the flowery-heart-craft-thing, wavy hair or indeed cupcake, that is proposed.

"It's on handmade paper with natural dyes and each one takes 2 hours of my time so I think fifteen pounds for a birthday card is fair, right?"

"I love the whole retro look and at least 2 of my friends bought some off me so everyone will..."

"Have you thought that through? sounds like a cupcake decision to me..."

decision stream

Decision stream - a statistic-based supervised learning technique that generates a deep directed acyclic graph of decision rules to solve classification and regression tasks

By increasing the number of samples in each node and reducing the tree width, the Decision stream preserves statistically representative data and allows extremely deep graph architecture that can consist of hundreds of levels.

Colonial Decision

Anything that one does to veer away from something normal. It applies to sibling rivalry or going against peer pressure. It also can mean something that you do that is boldly different.

Cole Sprouse made the colonial decision when he decided to dress like a pilgrim while his bro Dylan kept on the normal teenager path.

game time decision

A decision that is held off until the moment when it must be made. Very commonly used by professional coaches, especially of the NFL.

Reporter: "Will Portis be ready to play by Sunday?"
Coach: "He didn't practice today, but he's feeling better resting each day this week. He'll be a game time decision against the Cowboys."

Dude #1: "Where are we getting our drink on tonight?"
Dude #2: "Who knows. Let's just make it a game time decision."

God Shot

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.

caillou

A slang term used to describe a bald person, typically someone who is completely bald or has a closely shaved head. The term is derived from the infamous, hairless kids’ cartoon character of the same name.

“Did you see that caillou over there? His head is reflecting the sun like a disco ball.”
Example 2:
“I think Dave is finally accepting his hair loss. He just went full caillou and shaved the whole thing off.”
