The Scarecrow Theory

The idea that one of your friends are so chopped that good looking girls run away in terror, but they can pull because they don’t have a scarecrow.
“John is so chopped I can’t pull in English class, but he already has a girlfriend. He’s an example of the scarecrow theory.”

Illusional Time Theory

The theory that time does not exist, popularized by British scientist Julian Barbour. It states that our minds have created time to keep everything from happening all at once, meaning everything that has ever happened and everyone who has ever been born all happened at the same time.
The Illusional Time Theory states that since time does not exist, people and things like Jesus, dinosaurs, Hitler, Led Zeppelin, the U.S. moon landing and the sinking of the Titanic all happened at the same time.

The $15 Theory

The theory that charging your friends $15 to hangout with you is moral and socially acceptable.

Often the theory is used when you irresponsibly buy something unreasonably expensive, then find an excuse to make your friends pay for it through indirectly using it.
"Hey guys, I bought this new console, so every time you guys come hangout and use it, I'll need you to pay $15. It's only fair!"
"I know you're spending the night, so have you ever heard of the $15 theory? Yeah, I'll need you to pay me $15 to sleep on my new couch."

Bronsted-Lowry/Brønsted–Lowry Acid-Base Theory

An acid/base definition that suggests an Brønsted–Lowry acid is any molecule that can donate a proton, and a Brønsted–Lowry base is any molecule that accepts the proton. Protons can be referred to as H+ or "hydrogen ions," so if you see those terms used in a textbook they all mean the same thing. When a Brønsted–Lowry acid gives its proton away, it is "deprotonated" and can now accept a proton; now that it has become an acceptor, it is referred to as a conjugate base. The same rule applies to Brønsted–Lowry bases: once they gain a proton (are protonated), they are known as conjugate acids.
student: i'm a little confused with this functional group. the reading says that the carboxylic acid (COOH) group loses its proton, H, making the formula COO−. now that there's a space on the oxygen that's vacant, could the group accept a proton in the empty space? wouldn't that make the group a base?
teacher: yeah, acids turn into things known as conjugate bases when they lose hydrogen ions. the space where a proton used to be is now available for bonding, and the group or molecule becomes a proton acceptor/Brønsted–Lowry base
that's how you use the Bronsted-Lowry/Brønsted–Lowry Acid-Base Theory

theory-function

A contra-referentialization of speculative realism's theory-fiction in which language (form) and function share a contrapositive relationship.

The basis of Hypermodernism.
Postmodernism argues that form follows function.

Theory-function the theoretical foundation of Hypermodernism argues that DESIGN follows function. Form is oriented as contrapositive to function.

Hypermodernism would use the meme and more metastatically the skeuomorph as a theory-function instance, ie., a meta-medium.
