One of a set of choices that can be made.

The freedom or right to choose.

A contract giving the holder the right to buy or sell an asset at a set strike price; can apply to financial market transactions, or to ordinary transactions for tangible assets such as a residence or automobile.

(FINANCE) a type of financial derivative; a certificate that gives the owner the right to buy (or sell) a fixed amount of a specific thing for a specific price (the strike price).
An option to buy something else is called a call option; an option to sell something else is called a put option. An option has a strike price, which is the price at which you are entitled to buy (or sell) the underlying commodity, or stock, or foreign currency, or whatever.
Options allow the owner to speculate in the possibility that market prices will change in a certain direction, without actually spending the value of the underlying item. For example, suppose WTI crude is $85.75/bbl. In order to make $1000 off of a $0.25 increase in the price, you ordinarily would need to own 4000 bbls of crude, which you can’t afford. So, instead, you buy a call option for 4000 bbls with a strike price of $85.75/bbl (i.e., exactly what it is now). This option will cost a tiny amount of money. If the price goes up to $86.00/bbl, you don’t own the oil, but your options are now worth $1000 to somebody who wants to buy that oil.
An option with intrinsic value (for example,a call option whose strike price is less than the spot price) is «in the money.» An option with no intrinsic value is «out of the money.» Urban Dictionary

When a guy is banging some chick from behind, then he pitches her back to a friend, who then takes it to the house. Urban Dictionary

Shit don’t work… Urban Dictionary

Urban Dictionary

You always have the option, no matter what. Urban Dictionary

A ‘No Option’, is a term used to describe the action of a man (typically) going in for a pull (kiss) without the unspoken agreement of the other person (typically a women) – often ends in a slap, punch (from the annoyed boyfriend) or a pull. The term is infamous & frequently used among the UK’s University Ski Clubs such as the MMUFS and SKUM. Urban Dictionary

Not mandatory; A decision can be made in this situation. Urban Dictionary

A more vague term than crush, meaning you feel more indifferent about that person. However you wouldn’t mind dating them.
* Can be derogatory when used in the right context. Urban Dictionary

Other forms: options

An option is a possibility or choice. In football, a quarterback with three wide receivers has (at least) three throwing options.

An option is something that can be chosen — it’s a possibility. Even something crazy — like jumping off a cliff — is always an option, just not a good one. There are lots of technical uses of option in business and legal writing. If you have the option on a house, you have the right to buy it. In sports, a free agent has the option of joining another team. No matter what you do, it’s nice to have options. When we have no options, we feel trapped.
