(noun)
A term similar to "Godwin's Law" is a logical fallacy used by fans of professional wrestling. The use of Owen's Law denotes any wrestling fan who mentions or uses the death of wrestling legend Owen Hart as a way to shift blame towards the WWE rather than offer a rational argument. It is often used when any wrestling promotion outside of the WWE is called out for doing something unsafe or unprofessional. Similar to "Whataboutism"
Fan 1: Did you see that? Looks like he landed on a stack of pillows. You could see the cardboard for crying out loud.
Fan 2: What? Did you want him to land on real concrete?
Fan 1: Huh?! No! I'm just sayin' it looked so phony. They could've easily filmed it from a different angle. It just looked bad.
Fan 2: Don't forget that WWE let Over The Edge go on after Owen Hart died.
Fan 1: What does Owen Hart's death have to do with this?
Fan 2: ...
Fan 1: Stop using Owen's Law and just admit it sucked.
(noun) When fictional subject matter is presented and taken seriously to the point where it feels like it could actually happen.
Person 1: Game of Thrones is a show that has dragons and zombies and it's probably the most captivating drama on television right now.

(noun) A person who labels a piece of fiction such as a book, TV show, or movie as being too "political", "preachy" or "woke" for it's social commentary, when in reality, the person simply dislikes it because it doesn't personally match their own politics or beliefs.

Person 1: Dude, have you seen the new Watchmen on HBO? It's fucking fake "woke" political garbage. Don't waste your time.
Person 2: You do know that the graphic novel and Snyder's movie were both extremely political, right? That's the theme of the whole thing. Politics.
Person 1: Whatever! "Wokemen" is still lame!
