Neil's law (also known as Neil's Rule of Homoerotic Analogies or Neil's Rule of Analogies About Your Mom) is an assertion made by Josh Neil in 1990 that has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving homoeroticism or your mom approaches 1." In other words, Neil said that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably makes a comparison to your mom or homoerotic acts.
"Did you see that Alex shaved his beard?" "Ya, I'd hit that pretty mouth." "Dude, Neil's Law is so true."
