LaPusso alternative 

The only choice you get in some situations, and you just comply with it as you're too cowardly to stand up for your needs. Named after Anthony LaPusso, the entitled, privileged son-brat of Daniel and Amanda LaRusso. He has been raised with plenty of video games around him. His dad, Daniel, wrote him blank checks every time and gave him a Miyagi-do Karate Gi even though he didn't want to "wax on" and "wax off." His mom, Amanda, and sis, Samantha, drive him everywhere. Anthony doesn't really need to take adult responsibilities as his family would always be looking out for him.

That's why, when there's a tough and unpredictable situation, instead of battling it out, Anthony goes for the LaPusso Alternative and just takes whatever is being offered because he's too scared of antagonizing his parents, who might write him off the family inheritance and any trust funds. He's also scared of the school principal and other authority figures.

In a way, the LaPusso Alternative is actually a good choice when you have too much to lose because of owning responsibilities for your actions. After all, when everything is served to you on a platter, only a fool would choose the harder path in life.
Carjacker: "Give me all your money. kid. And the car!"
Victim: "All right, man. Don't kill me please. Listen you can take the car, and you can keep my wallet. But can you just spare me $10 so I can take the bus home."
Carjacker: "Nopes. you don't get anything. Tell you what? You can walk all the way home. Be thankful I spared your life, and you're not going to wake up in a hospital. "
Victim: "OK man. there's always the LaPusso alternative. Keep my car, and my wallet. I will walk all the way home."
Carjacker: "Fuck off, LaPusso."
A person who claims to be a black belt in karate, but who actually only studied for a couple of months or not at all.

ETYMOLOGY - This word comes from the name of a fictional character named Daniel Larusso, who was the protagonist in "The Karate Kid"; a mediocre but hugely successful American film released in the early 80's which starred Pat Morita and Ralph Macchio.
After he got his ass kicked by that green belt, I figured he had to be a Larusso.
