The Play

"The Play" is the moment in a game of Magic the Gathering that a Death and Taxes style deck takes control of the game to the point where there's a less than 25% chance of recovery.

This usually comes from breaking parity or a specific hate piece resolving, Death and Taxes decks win several turns before the game is over.

"...and there is The Play, after 9 turns of back and forth removal Steve finally resolves a Leyline of the Void, all but ensuring his victory."

"While we didn't know it at the time, The Play this game was a turn 2 winter orb. Who could have guessed an artifact deck would have such a hard time against it?"

pop up play

a portable privacy cube that "pops up" in a snap, literally. many uses include a private restroom while camping. Can also become an instant shower at the beach. Another use is a changing area for outdoor activities. has been used by utility companies around manholes for protection from the elements in rain, snow, basically it is protection from inclimate weather.

playing in public is so much safer now that I have the pop up play instant tent

Playing the A Card

Making reference to you or your child's autism diagnosis (as a form of disability) in a conversation with a service provider (or customer service representative) to lend greater urgency or import to your request, complaint or request for policy exception. Derived from similar term "Playing he Race Card", an idiomatic phrase that refers to exploitation of either racist or anti-racist attitudes by accusing others of racism.

I can't believe I had to wait in line for 30 minutes to pick up an item at Best Buy that was supposedly ready yesterday. After 10 minutes my son had a meltdown from the sensory overload of spending so much time in the bright, loud store.

You could see employees standing around doing nothing while I waited in line. When the manager working the desk made a comment that 'someone was a little cranky' (instead of apologizing for the inappropriate wait), I almost lost it. I'm still pretty angry but at least I got a $50 gift card after I complained to corporate, Playing the A Card.
