Your responsibility to prove or provide evidence for a claim you have made, without being allowed to change the subject or avoid backing up the claim. The sister term to a burden of proof is a red herring (a logical fallacy tantamount to derailing). When someone has the burden of proof and doesn't want to back up their statements, they will usually either commit a blatant red herring and try to sidetrack the conversation or try to shift the burden of proof onto the other person. Since few people can clearly list their beliefs and evidence about global warming, economic models and policies, and cause-and-effect social claims ("legalizing marijuana will make everyone into a drug addict!"), this will remain a major problem for many years to come.
Guy 1: There is indisputable proof that God exists. Guy 2: May I see this proof? Guy 1: No. It is your job to prove that God does not exist. Guy 2: I do not have the burden of proof here. I claimed nothing.
Guy 1: Donald Sterling is a terrible person. He should lose all of his money, his job, and never be seen in the public eye again. Guy 2: Can you defend the claim that he's a terrible person? Guy 1: I know him well, on the basis of hearing a phone conversation of his. All people like him are the same. They are racists and they need to go down! Guy 2: Slow down there. You have a burden of proof to prove that 1) he's a terrible person. 2) you can judge someone enough based on a brief phone call to know they're a terrible person 3) all such people need to go down (whatever that means). Guy 1: I'm not going to discuss this! He's a racist and that's it! Guy 2: Please be a mature adult and respect that to continue this dispute, you must address your own burden of proof.

This term refers to a person who likes to stick long phallic-like objects up their rectum. The term was coined in the 1970s to describe high-ranking military officials who enjoyed poking their intestinal basin with objects that are similar in shape to a man's genitals. The motivation for this is unknown and the term is usually used in a derogatory fashion to describe someone.
Person 1: "Why didn't Steve want to come over for my college graduation party?" Person 2: "He was put off by the footage that leaked, proving he's a Rear Admiral. I don't think he can deal with the social pressures of confrontation on the topic." Person 1: "You mean he might start trying to push people off the balcony like Elliot Rodger at a house party?" Person 2: "Precisely."

Power Struggle Theory is the idea that a weakling is going to be most sensitive to a power struggle. This is akin to when a small dog barks wildly. This theory describes the behavior of young women who hunt for attention and enjoy keeping men at their fingertips. The vast majority of young women on sites such as Tinder and Facebook love to be in control of interactions with men and get off on the feeling of power they hold over them. Relinquishing such power is not in the interests of such a weakling, as then men would gain the upper hand in all areas. Such women usually have multiple “safe” beta males orbiting them. The woman gets a different type of stimulation and pleasure from each of the orbiters; also known as juggle play. A confident man does not need to engage in power struggles because he feels good about himself on his own. Most attractive young women realize the gig is up once the power struggle ends. They like to extend the struggle as long as possible to maintain their power and because of their fear a man will realize she brings less character to the table than he thought.
Guy 1: Why does she reply to only 30% of my messages? I thought women loved to get attention.
Guy 2: Not necessarily. Why do you think many women interpret your interest in them as weakness?
Guy: I don’t know. They don’t like muff munchers?
Guy 2: Power Struggle Theory in practice.

When they see the big D and freak out. This is the effect caused by seeing a very large penis, which usually causes the viewer's jaw to drop. This is most often seen with women on webcams, but also happens often at college parties. Freak cock effect has been the main source of many men getting laid. The one downside of a freak cock is that it is difficult for extremely well-endowed men to maintain stable personal relationships and receive gratifying oral sex.
Benny: Jim just came in and tore the club up! He was trotting around asking girls if they wanted to catch a glimpse of his hot dog on a stick. How did he get them to fall for it? Steve: Well, my son, that's the power of the freak cock effect. Few women can truly handle its hypnotic effects.

Describes someone who holds a cock/spire upright. The reason the word spotter is used is because, just like in benchpressing, the holding/spotting is done by a third party representative. Spirespotting is most common before the spicy bologna is inserted into the vagina (or rectum, for you cumtheca spirespotters out there) during intercourse. In pornography, the most common case of this is when, during a male-female-female scene, girl #1 is about to get her peach cobbler rived, so girl #2 grips the hedgehog and guides it into girl #1's pudendal crawlway.
The coati Ben Coates was robbing a liquor store when he felt something from below the waist. He recognized it as a hand. He thought to himself, "What kind of person would give my johnson such a firm skyward grip? Oh yeah, a spirespotter."

Trickle Down Beta Impact Theory is the theory that beta males just let their fellow betas get beaten up by other betas and it trickles downwards into a society of 99% beta males. When the trickling occurs, there is no way to stop it. Whereas when an upward alpha male surge occurs, feminists are quick to jump in and shut down the movement. The Trickle Down Beta Impact Theory explains the steady dropping of testosterone rates and increasing feminine male behavior in society.
Guy 1: Did you see that black thug beat up the white guy working at Applebee's while all of the whiteys stood around looking on?
Guy 2: That's what I call the Trickle Down Beta Impact Theory!

An alpha female is one who pursues long term goals outside of the norm and often to obtain some form of power, such as a doctor with a private practice. An alpha female has a level of competition and desire to succeed and go her own way unlike the vast majority of the population. Yet alpha females still usually will not display sexual dominance (they will still generally enjoy being dominated by stronger males), but will display less fear in obtaining men that they want. This is connected to social intelligence in the sense that a person with high social intelligence performs well under adversity and doesn't get depressed and back down quickly in the face of challenges or rejection.
Guy 1: "Did that girl call you back last night?" Guy 2: "Yes she did. I've dated about 10 flakey unemployed women in a row. It's finally nice to be in a relationship with an Alpha female that has enough social intelligence and decency to call me back."
