gimme
Conceded short putt
Gimme is a casual contraction of "give me," representing how the phrase sounds in rapid speech: Gimme a break, Gimme five minutes.
As a noun, a gimme is something easily obtained or accomplished—a sure thing: That question was a gimme.
In golf, a gimme is a putt so short that opponents concede it without requiring the stroke to be played.
