A nonstarter so spectacularly hopeless it deserves its own trophy. Not just dead on arrival but DOA in a fireball. Mega nonstarters are the kind of ideas that make a whole group go silent, then burst out laughing. They're the proposals so far outside the realm of possibility that even the person suggesting them knows it the second the words leave their mouth. Used ironically to describe colossal misjudgments — whether in relationships, business, or general life choices that never had a prayer.
