chesapeake beach

A shithole town in Upper Calvert County, Maryland. Also known as the most corrupt place in the State. Home to the "Rob & Steal" a hotel, restaurant and "bingo hall". Bingo is really code for slot machine and there are hundreds of unregulated rip-off machines in this tiny town. Of course, the hotel is owned by the former Mayor who is known by locals as "Boss Hogg" but even small town mayors who own all the commercial property in town have a boss themselves. Maryland's lifetime Senate President also resides there and is known for knocking off any competition to Boss Hogg in exchange for kickbacks. Bribery and corruption are out in the open. The most attractive qualities of the town are its bikers, drug dealers and hookers. Just go into any bar to find what you need!
Wanna go down to Chesapeake Beach? Nah man, last time I was there I lost all my money on slots, got in a fight with a biker and then caught clamydia from some girl named Krusty Kristy!

Chess Pigeon

Chess Pigeon - A person suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Opening statement from britannica.com/science/Dunning-Kruger-effect
- "Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general."

IOWs, people who think they're smart, but aren't...but they don't know this due to the delusional belief they're smart. Those suffering from narcissistic traits also comes to mind.

The term 'Chess Pigeon' refers to the meme, and before it became one, apparently originated at...
rationalwiki.org/wiki/Pigeon_chess
...later becoming a meme (I like this version the best)...

"Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon...no matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway."

Thus such a person is a Chess Pigeon. Typically they strut around, brag and denigrate others, while actually showing how stupid they are for doing so, and often, this important information is difficult for them to comprehend, thus they continue to strut, brag and denigrate, and retain their false sense of superiority.

Typically, if you judge a person is a chess pigeon, it's best to cease arguing or conversing with them and let them remain in their delusional state where they prefer to exist.
I doubt anyone requires an example...but the site requires one.
"You're a chess pigeon."

cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex

a) a Latin phrase meaning (original meaning): if the rationale behind a law fails, so should the law (i.e. it is potentially time to replace said law, since it may n o longer serve its intended purpose)

b) (my new and improved English translation of the phrase): a nicer way of saying " repeal and replace" old and possibly antiquated laws)
can cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex, definition b) be applied, or should it even be applied, to Obamacare?
