Keener's Corollary

Keener's Corollary states, "The s--t you take is the s--t you get."

Keener's Corollary is name given to a philosophical statement related to accepting and dealing with criticism, often given in a harsh, demeaning or insulting manner. The Corollary was first quipped by notable Western Pennsylvania radio personality Scott Keen1, and hence was given the name "Keener's Corollary."

The Corollary's text serves to inspire people who find themselves in a work or personal relationship that has become abrasive, abusive or toxic. It implies that the amount of harassment given to a particular person is directly proportional to the amount of harassment that the person is willing to tolerate. It implies that if a person becomes more resistant and expressive of displeasure to the source of such harassment, that the behavior will not be tolerated, then the source of that harassment will refrain from any future harassment.

It should be noted that Keener's Corollary is not based in any research-supported psychological or philosophical foundations. It was created purely for anecdotal and comical value.
Can you believe he lets his boss talk to him like that? He's such a pussy. Someone needs to teach him Keener's Corollary.

Keenan

Keenan is a man with the best looks and the best luck. He always gets the girl he wants and thats just the way it is. You may have a hot lookin' girl but Keenan has a better one or, he is about to steal your girl. The stealing of your girl will be easy due to his amazingly good looks and luck, oh and don't forget talent. Keenan is a soccer players name, so he will kick you in the balls. Keenan can be white or black but who really cares? The name itself is so sexy to the point where girls that are ugly just automatically fall on the ground. This falling on the ground is called passing out which is what Keenan does with his penis. He passes it out for all the beautiful ladies and the ladies indeed accept. And yes, Keenan loves the putang, it is the exact opposite of a gay name. Give Keenan that putang.
Example 1.
Person #1: Who's the new guy?
Person #2: Oh that's Keenan.
Person #1: ...I'm a guy and I have the sudden feeling of gay in me.
Person #2 Happens to everyone man, don't give in though, he will definitely not turn gay.

Example 2.
Girl: Why do I have this sudden urge to shove something in every one of my holes?
*Looks around and sees Keenan*
Other Girl: We all get that feeling... *Passes out*
