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.

Get the parsimonier mug.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!"

Get the PERSION mug.A hoarding, self Seeking, bottom feeder unwilling to help other with resources they have. Who does things only for his own benefit and is often morally shunned. People who have little to no conscience and will lie, cheat, steal and manipulate others for their own benefit. A person who cares only for themselves and has no empathy or sympathy for others. These people will often ask who's going to pay for social solutions and admit they don't care enough to want to pay.

Get the Parsimonious mug.Persimmons like to do physics with cats and Libby. Some would say he is a sexy beast. Persimmons says it's too big, but in reality it is too small. Make sure he does not get perturbed. Don't you dare hurt him so! Before you get to know him, check his laundry... oops that shirt is dirty let's take that off. Also, be aware he loves weird smells.
