law porn

Advertising material sent by one law school to faculty at others, in the effort to improve its "peer ranking" score in the U.S. News & World Report annual law school rankings. The effort is generally considered ineffective and wasteful. Public reports credit Professor Pamela Karlan of Stanford Law School with coining the term (and disapproving of the practice).

Prof. 1: "Did you see that ridiculous law porn today from XYZ Law School?"

Prof. 2: "Nah. I don't hardly even read my school mail any more, since it's gotten so full of that crap."

mulaney's law

Mildly inconvenienced people, typically white, comparing relatively harmless, "insults," to the n-word. This is in relation to a quote by John Mulaney, which goes, "If you're comparing the badness of two words, and you won't even say one of them, that's the worse word."

Person #2: "Dammit... you win...

Flow's Law

Given enough time, every late night IRC channel will eventually talk about Philosphy, get "Deep", and talk about genitals. While this will occur in no specific order, these conversation pieces will inevitably emerge given sufficient conversation time.

"Why do we always end up talking about genitals?"
"Flow's Law."
