I would think this wouldn't need to be articulated, but I just witnessed some think-tank policy-wonk, who definitely should have thought of this, use the now (or so I thought) infamous phrase, uttered by George Tenet in response to the validity of questionable intelligence that effectively started the war in Iraq.
Really!?! You mean when you hear the words "slam dunk" and you don't think of the pock-marked spy guy giving a verbal thumbs-up to the stupid looking, funny guy who resembles a monkey? (I'm looking at you Georgy-boy.) Really?!
Fine, then I'll state it here: the phrase "slam dunk" or "it's a slam dunk" can only be used ironically, preferably in a snarky, derisive manner, for the purpose of sarcasm.
