Paul Pierce it

To fake a serious injury in any sport only to come back five minutes later and perform in 'dramatic' fashion. This action was trademarked by Paul Pierce in the 2008 NBA Finals.

"Joe nearly got a concussion while we were playing football. Luckily he was tough enough to come back and score five touchdowns."

"He's not tough. He just likes to Paul Pierce it."

Perception

While our sensory receptors are constantly collecting information from the environment, it is ultimately how we interpret that information that affects how we interact with the world. Perception refers to the way sensory information is organized, interpreted, and consciously experienced. Perception involves both bottom-up and top-down processing. Bottom-up processing refers to the fact that perceptions are built from sensory input. On the other hand, how we interpret those sensations is influenced by our available knowledge, our experiences, and our thoughts. This is called top-down processing.

Law of the Lesser Percentile

The law that states whichever phone is at a lower percent gets priority on the charger. Given there is only one charger, the lower percent gets access even if someone else is currently using it. They must give it up.

Tony, give me the charger! The Law of the lesser percentile states that you have to give it to me considering I’m at 12% and you’re at 45%!

perceived coolness whore

The annoying individual who claims to be interested or expert in almost any topic that anybody else in a group refers to as cool, often to the extent that their involvement in so many activities and interests, or in a more oscure pursuit or fetish, may seem dubious.

"Hangliding looks cool" eliciting the response "Oh, I LOVE to hanglide, I'm an experienced hangliderist!"

or

"I have a friend who is into CBT" followed by "Ooo, CBT is the coolest - I do it all the time!" leading the original speaker to ask the perceived coolness whore to define CBT in semi-polite company.

At their worst, a perceived coolness whore might stumble, late, into a conversation about female contraceptives or male pattern baldness and, upon hearing a prescription drug name, will claim to have once done lines of the afore-mentioned drug off the back of a hooker at a Hollywood party.

5 percent rule

After you break up with someone, you are not allowed to mourn over the loss for more than 5% of your time being with them.

The 5 percent rule goes like this: you can mourn over the loss of a boyfriend or girlfriend for no more of 5% iof the time being together (as previously stated). FOR EXAMPLE, if you dated someone for 60 minutes, you can mourn over your tragic loss for 3 minutes (if i did my math correctly)
