Keener's Corollary

Keener's Corollary states, "The s--t you take is the s--t you get."

Keener's Corollary is name given to a philosophical statement related to accepting and dealing with criticism, often given in a harsh, demeaning or insulting manner. The Corollary was first quipped by notable Western Pennsylvania radio personality Scott Keen1, and hence was given the name "Keener's Corollary."

The Corollary's text serves to inspire people who find themselves in a work or personal relationship that has become abrasive, abusive or toxic. It implies that the amount of harassment given to a particular person is directly proportional to the amount of harassment that the person is willing to tolerate. It implies that if a person becomes more resistant and expressive of displeasure to the source of such harassment, that the behavior will not be tolerated, then the source of that harassment will refrain from any future harassment.

It should be noted that Keener's Corollary is not based in any research-supported psychological or philosophical foundations. It was created purely for anecdotal and comical value.
Can you believe he lets his boss talk to him like that? He's such a pussy. Someone needs to teach him Keener's Corollary.

Laze's Corollary

When the topic at hand involves the essential fusion of nationalism and socialism, then Godwin's Law is invalid.
"...but Godwin's Law doesn't work here, because Donald Trump really is fusing the worst parts of nationalism and socialism. Ergo, Laze's Corollary applies..."

LDB Corollary

Much like Godwin's Corollary, but involving the phrase "slippery slope". The person stating in an argument that something is a "slippery slope", the discussion is ended and the mentioner has lost the argument.
While on a forum discussing "mandated vaccinations", Jim said it was a slippery slope to death panels. Everyone else recognized this as a sign that no rational discussion was going to occur and the discussion was ended. Jim is an asshole. Barbara hated it when a discussion was ended via the LDB Corollary.

Miller's Corollary

A provision of Godwin's Law.

In a discussion regarding religion, personal freedoms, or politics, the probability of someone or something being compared to terrorism and/or the events surrounding 9/11 eventually approaches one.
"The argument's over. He started blaming gays for 9/11 and after that the gay marriage debate just went downhill from there. Miller's Corollary proves itself yet again."

JH Corollary

The jh corollary refers to a situation in which a woman is surrounded by at least 20 naked males. It is most often used in conjunction with "that's what she said."

Person 2: That's what she said! JH Corollary!
