How to use "Nixed" in context?
Not every decision is final. Sometimes we make decisions that don't pan out or feel like the best course of action, but we still determine them as legitimate options. These are known as "nixed" decisions. Sometimes we may not end up following through with a nixed decision, but at least we tried. Sometimes it's okay to nix a decision if it's not the best option for us or if we realize it won't work. Sometimes, though, a nixed decision can be the best choice because we ended up finding a better option that we hadn't considered.
