A principle invoked when urging someone to persevere despite initial failure, which fully stated is: "You don't need me to remind you, when things don't go well the first time, try again." So named because it is drawn from two familiar premises: (a) persevering is like riding a bike, you never forget how, and (b) when you fall off a horse, you get right back on and give it another go.
My nephew just failed the bar a second time and was ready to hang it up, but I reminded him of the Bike/Horse Rule and told him to sign up for the thing again, he'll get it.

Get the Funderwaremug. An omakase (Japanese for “I'll leave it up to you”) or other tasting menu where the food served is chosen by the chef rather than by the diner. The term is a word play on the mathematical concept of the “random walk,” a mathematical concept used in science, economics and elsewhere, and the use of woks in restaurant kitchens (which is not limited to Chinese restaurants).
We tried the random wok menu at Miyamoto's the other night and it was awesome -- we loved every single dish the chef sent out.
