Meijer’s Syndrome 

The tendency of Midwestern mothers to add an unnecessary and incorrect possessive “S” to the names of restaurants, stores, and other businesses, as in referring to Meijer as “Meijer’s.”
Mom: Do you want to go to Meijer’s? How about Nordstrom’s?
Allyson: Jesus Christ, Mom! Your Meijer’s Syndrome has gotten really bad lately.

Going To Meyer's 

The inviting of a member of the opposite sex round to your house for the sole purpose of sexual gratification. Need not apply to gf/bf. i.e any random person

N.B: This only applies if you actually get some, inviting a person over and NOT getting with them despite your best efforts is not Going To Meyer's.
"Ah, man, I invited Patti round to mine"
"Why?"
"Going To Meyer's if you know what I mean"

Meyer's Law 

An informal law of Internet discussions (mostly on blogs, but also extends to forums, Twitter conversations, email discussions and instant messaging debates) which states that when the topic is related to intelligent design, a commenter will inevitably mention the book "Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design" by Stephen C. Meyer, which was published in 2009.

The speed at which the citation appears can be positively correlated with a high frequency of citation for books that fundamentally disagree with the core ideas in "Signature in the Cell", as well as the amount of time spent talking about the DNA code and information theory. In fact, any mention of the term "biological information" will act as a catalyst in this regard.

The identification of this law came after merciless online marketing by the Discovery Institute forced most of the world's intelligent design proponent population to purchase the book (or at least pretend to have read it).
Commenter: "I notice you have made no comment regarding the new book Signature in the Cell by Stephen Meyer. That is probably just because you haven't had the time to read it."

Meyer's Law has been applied to the discussion from which the above comment was taken.

Memer's block

The act of being unable to come up with new memes and/or filling in the pieces to create the comedic phrasing and effect that you desire
I've got this really funny idea for a new meme, but I've got terrible memer's block.
noun. An s.meter, pronounced "s-meter", is a machine that can actually detect the s.m.i.t.h. (see s.m.i.t.h.) in an individual s.m.i.t.h. kind of person. It also mesures the s.m.i.t.h.i.s.m. (see s.m.i.t.h.i.s.m.) in people too.
Man, this guy better go on the s.meter before getting near my friends!

witchcraft that's too cheap to meter 

(From the nuclear power industry's false promise about electricity being so cheap as not being able to charge for it)

1. In a fantasy or western-european-Pagan setting, sorcerous things that use so little mana as to be insignificant and not get you persecuted if you use them. Dancing naked in the forest when no one's looking and no camera is rolling is witchcraft that's too cheap to meter.

2. In a broader sense, a deed in a gray area (of society) that's so small as to not even be noticed.
1. When Gandalf blew a ship made of smoke through a smoke ring it was a form of witchcraft that's too cheap to meter.
1. At 10:45 AM I took off all my clothes and went into the woods and did a thankful little jig when it didn't snow. I'm Christian, but it was witchcraft that's too cheap to meter.

2. Gina:"Are you downloading MP3 files again?"
Sean:"Yeah, don't worry, it's witchcraft that's too cheap to meter. You won't get caught."
2. In 1996 I took some toilet paper and stuffed it into the bathroom exhaust fan at my grandmother's house, she didn't mind because it was similar to witchcraft that was too cheap to meter.
