Betteridge's Law

A parodic scientific law stating that any headline ending in a question mark can safely be answered with "no." Extremely useful in this age of clickbait.
Clickbait: "Did this man cure cancer by spreading dog shit on his face?? The answer will amaze you!!"

Smart guy: "No. If it was true then it wouldn't need the question mark."

Clickbait: "But don't people enjoy suspenseful headlines?? The answer is astounding!!"

Smart guy: "Betteridge's Law." (Keeps scrolling.)

car-in-law

The vehicle belonging to your significant other. It is either too fast or too slow, the wrong kind of transmission, not cool enough, or too new and strange compared to your one true ride.
Person 1: Why are you sad? You love driving on road trips!
Person 2: Sure, but my car is in the shop so we have to take the car-in-law.

Funky's Law

The longer a discussion of any issue continues, the likelihood of the issue of Jesus and Salvation being brought up increases.
We were having a nice discussion about baseball when Fred invoked Funky's Law and noted that nobody can be truly safe without redemption through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
