An easier way to say Theory of mind.
In psychology, mental theory refers to the capacity to understand other people by ascribing mental states to them. This includes the knowledge that others' mental states may be different from one's own states and include beliefs, desires, intentions, emotions, and thoughts. Possessing a functional theory of mind is considered crucial for success in everyday human social interactions. People use such a theory when analyzing, judging, and inferring others' behaviors. The discovery and development of mental theory primarily came from studies done with animals and infants. Factors including drug and alcohol consumption, language development, cognitive delays, age, and culture can affect a person's capacity to display theory of mind.

Get the Mental theory mug.The theory that (regarding any upcoming physics test) you either know it or you don't. Not to be confused with the Ridings Postulate, which states that you either know it or you don't regarding ANY test, not simply physics. Applying these ideas often results in failure.
Me - "Dude, I have a physics test tomorrow! Fuck!"
Ridings - "Same. But I'm not studying, according to my theory, the Ridings Theory - in physics, you either know it, or you don't."

Paul Young's been missing for a couple of days. Have you seen him?
Why ask me?
I saw him leave a box on your doorstep.
And I've seen Zach over here.
If I did know where Mr. Young was, why would I tell you?
Look, the police think I killed your sister and I'm sure you do too. But I had nothing to do with it.
And you think Paul Young did.
Well... No, that's not what I was saying.
You gotta admit, it's a neat theory.

Get the Dead Internet Theory mug.A dismissive phrase invented as a lazy insult toward women with septum rings. It’s most often used when the person insulting can’t actually respond to what a woman with a septum piercing is saying — so instead of addressing her point, they reduce her to her jewelry.
It’s not really a “theory” at all — it’s a cop-out comeback.
People lean on “Septum Theory” when they’re out of arguments, turning someone’s appearance into the debate itself.

Her: “That’s actually factually incorrect, here’s the source.”
Him: “Uhh… Septum Theory.”
Translation: “I don’t have a real argument, so I’ll just insult your piercing.”
Her: Says anything that goes against men in general
Him: Septum theory strikes again.
Translation: I have no argument.
Aka "Septum Theory" Theory. The theory that men will find anything they can to try an degrade a woman, logical or not.
