  1. mulligan

    A mulligan is a term used in sports or games, particularly in golf, that gives a player a second chance to perform an action or play after a poor performance or initial mistake. It essentially allows the player to "re-do" or "do over" their play without any penalties or punishments. However, this is not officially recognized in professional play. The term can also be applied metaphorically in other areas of life to refer to a chance to correct mistakes or failures.
