(n.) Something one must finish before they can leave whatever they're doing to answer a summons. (From the structure of old Nintendo video games, wherein each level ended with what Sir Alfred Hitchcock called a "Master Antagonist" who must be defeated to progress in the game. Often (far too often) the games were not built to 'save' until this master antagonist was soundly trounced, so my kids would often complain that they couldn't do whatever they were supposed to do until after they had "killed the main guy.")

"I can't empty the dishwasher, Daddy, I still have to kill the main guy!" | "Come on, we can finish editing this next scene tomorrow." "No way, dude, I've still got the main guy to take care of." "The main guy?! What do you mean?" "You know, the continuity in the big banquet scene; if I can finish that, we'll be most of the way there."
