parsimonier

An individual who presses co-workers or friends to come up with the simplest solutions to problems.

Suzy is such a parsimonier, asking question after question to try and help us figure out how to make things as straightforward as possible. I guess it's efficient, but it can be a ton of questions.

the parson's gambit

In it's purest form, the parson's gambit involves nothing more than a surprise attack while a man is in the irreversible throes of digestive egress. In other words, harassing a man while he is taking a shit. As it is commonly known that once a bowel movement has begun, no power on earth can stop it. The victim will therefore be forced to endure any and all schemes and embarrassments imaginable.

Oh man, did you see the parson's gambit Todd set up in the locker room?" "No, what happened." "Eddy was minding his own business, dropping a deuce, when Todd snuck over the stall and nailed him with an air horn and that aerosol cheese. There was nothing he could do but sit there and take it until the dirty business was done." "Stone Cold.

of parsimony

The Principle "of parsimony" infers that a phenomena can be explained best with the simplest hypothesis that accounts for all the evidence. Since we can only tell the difference between something that is true and something that is false, by inferring our own observations and using the general rule to make a guess, adding entities to a hypothesis that are not accounted for by evidence results in a hypothesis that is not parsimonious and less believable than prior.

This is referred to and explained in Occam's Razor, which follows the same basic principle.

The word may also be used to infer simplicity, or the state of a hypothesis in which it explains a phenomenon using entities suggested by evidence, and no absolutely more.

"Your hypothesis for insert phenomena, i.e.gravitational effects derived from atomic warp of spacetime was fine until you added entity to it, we have no evidence for that, you're just making stuff up, we observed the electromagnetic fluctuation before in CERN, why do you need to make it more complex, just do the math and see if it works, trust me it seems accurate enough already. Just apply the Principle of parsimony!"
