A Zeroeth Law is a law that is added to another set of laws at a later date.
It is usually so important that the other laws cannot function without it, yet so obvious that nobody thought it needed stating.

The Zeroeth Law of thermodynamics: If objects B and C are both in thermal equilibrium with object A, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
Isaac Asimov's Zeroth Law of Robotics: A robot may not harm humanity, or through inaction allow humanity to come to harm.
Newton's Zeroeth Law of Motion: If objects A and B are moving relative to object C at velocities v1 and v2, then they are moving relative to each other at velocity v3 which is the difference between v1 and v2. (Note: This law is now known not to be true, especially near the speed of light. That's where Einstein comes in)
The Zeroeth Commandment: Thou Shalt believe all of this and never question what thou art told.

Get the Zeroeth Lawmug. Since any description of a group, society or organisation that begins with "a total bunch of..." is never a good one, it is simpler to just call them a total bunch.
That frat is a total bunch of douchebags.
The government is a total bunch of thieving bastards.
My ISP is a total bunch of incompetent imbeciles.
Those guys are a total bunch.

Get the total bunchmug. The horrible tangled mass of hair, soap scum and bodily fluids that clogs the plughole of a bath or shower.
Usually caused by women who wash their hair, shave their legs and armpits or trim their pubic hair in the shower.
If not dealt with in their early stages, they will grow, block the pipes, float around in a pool of water that spills onto the bathroom floor. and produce a clan of sentient offspring that attack you in the dead of night and drag you off into the sewers.

Get the bathroom wookieemug. An unscrupulous practice done by some Southern African safari outfits.
The owner of the outfit will arrange hunting packages with a disreputable travel agent, and give a "hunting safari" to unsuspecting overseas tourists. When the tourists arrive he awes them with campfire stories and gets them drunk on mampoer. The next day the hunt begins. The guides lead the tourists on a convoluted bundu bash around the tiny 100 hectare game farm in such a way that they think it's a lot bigger than it actually is, while pretending to track a lion. Meanwhile, the owner goes off to a game auction and buys a fleabitten, malnourished captive-bred lion. On the last day of the hunt, they finally "find" the lion (which was released from the owner's truck half an hour before). The tourists then shoot their lion, get lots of photos taken, fork out bucket-loads of cash and fly home feeling really macho.

Bystander #1 at Joburg airport:
Look at those yanks in their safari gear. Isn't it pathetic?
Bystander #2:
I bet they're on a canned hunting trip.

Get the canned huntingmug. A codeword for douchebag. To be used in the presence of a physically intimidating yet none too bright douchebag.

Steve: Would you like a double cheese bagel?
Douchebag: What the hell? Go get some friends, loser.
Dave: Steve, if he understands that, you're dead.

Get the double cheese bagelmug. Steve: Tom has African Horse Sickness? But that only affects horses, not humans.
Dave: No, I said African Whore Sickness.
Steve: Ah. I see. Sucks to be him.

This is in accordance with the principle that anyone who would call themselves a VIP, or insist on VIP treatment is inherently a douchebag.
