• holding that unpreserved arguments may not be considered on appeal absent a showing of plain error
• holding that alternative legal theory not pled in the complaint or otherwise raised in the district court was forfeited, and in the absence of a plain-error argument, was beyond appellate review
• holding that we may affirm on any basis supported by the record
• concluding that a party waives an issue by “intentionally relinquish[ing] or abandon[ing]” it
• recognizing that failure to raise argument in the district court results in forfeiture
• holding that “the failure to argue for plain error and its application on appeal [] surely marks the end of the road for an argument for reversal not first presented to the district court”
