decision lane

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.

slicecock decision 

A slicecock decision is a situation that is so difficult that it is like getting your cock sliced in two.

Should I screw Jenny or Jane?

Man, that is one slicecock decision!

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."

tough decision town 

A location that is right in between 2 major metro areas and the people have to make a decision to fly in and out of a certain airport or to be a fan of which sports team. For example, people in Springfield, MA fly in and out of either Boston or Albany, NY.

San Luis Obispo, CA is right in between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and many citizens can't decide whether they're a Giants fan or a Dodgers fan. That is a tough decision town.
