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."

Get the The Ridings Theory mug.In physics, a gauge theory describes the dynamics of a system by introducing more variables than are actually necessary to describe the system. For a gauge theory, there’s no “right number” of variables, so you’re stuck either being too vague or a bit redundant… Or you’re stuck with a non-local theory, which shivers my timbers.
“Why do Eminem and Sean Combs have like 5 different stage names each?”
“Yo, that’s because MCs operate in a non-Abelian gauge theory!”
“Seriously?”
“For sure. That’s why you don’t want to cross them. They always remember.”

Get the gauge theory mug.The most misunderstood theory in history.
This theory was meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but apparently a few people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for one to understand CRT, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am referring to the philosophical theory and framework written by Adorno & Horkheimer, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.

Get the the reyes theory mug.The nose ring theory suggests that a woman wearing a nose ring is often perceived as displaying higher levels of emotional instability, confrontational behavior, and unresolved personal trauma, which some believe she has internalized in a way that significantly influences her personality.
Simple definition:
The Nose Ring Theory is the humorous idea that women with nose rings are more likely to be emotionally intense, dramatic, or have unresolved issues.
