gimme idea
 n.— «A gimme idea is an idea that is so good, a comic would be pretty good just by the existence of the gimme idea. In this regard, I have almost come to look at gimme ideas as almost lazy writing, in the sense that, since the idea is a gimme, the writer doesn’t have to work that hard to make the story cool, because the idea itself is so strong.» —“Comic Book Dictionary—Gimme Idea” by Brian Cronin Comic Book Resources Oct. 26, 2006.
