laydowns
Cards played flat
Laydowns are things set down or surrendered without resistance.
In card games, a laydown is a hand so strong it wins automatically when revealed.
In retail, laydowns are products displayed flat on tables rather than hung or shelved.
In sales and military contexts, a laydown is something easily achieved or an uncontested target: The deal was a laydown—they signed immediately.
