Brogan Adjustment

Special technique of the U.S.-Army Signal Corps for repairing electronic equipment. It consists of smacking the shit out of an electronic device with one's own shoe, instilling obedience into it and forcing it to function as desired through sheer physical power.

This technique was famously employed by Paulie from the cult classic TV-Show "The Sopranos" when he was trying to repair a DVD-Player during S2-E4.
Paulie: "I was in the Army Signal Corps, what this thing needs is what we call a Brogan Adjustment."
*Proceeds to viciously brutalize the DVD-Player*
Tony: "There was nothing we could do about it... Paulie was a Made Man and the DVD-Player wasn't... it was real greaseball shit..."

Public Adjuster

Ambulance chasers. A mostly unnecessary profession where someone "represents" the policyholder rather than the insurance company. They don't really do anything besides add a bunch of bullsh*t line items in Xactimate to try and "blow up" a claim. The end result is the claim extending for months and months and only the public adjuster benefiting financially, while completely screwing over the insured.
When my house burned down, a public adjuster solicited his services to me. Since I wasn't a moron, I told him to go f*ck over someone else.

Beatitude adjustment

A more Christian version of instant karma, in which someone suddenly learns that the Beatitudes of the bible also have a negative side, such as: "Cursed are the arrogant, for they will inherit nothing. Cursed are those who hunger for wrongdoing, for they will be left hungry. Cursed are the cruel, for they will be shown no mercy. " rather than "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth" etc.
Adam said Bo was bragging about his new car Monday and wrecked it Tuesday. That's a Beatitude adjustment for you.
