The Van Schwack Law

When the explanation for why something is incorrect takes far longer to say then it does to say the incorrect thing. Like when someone like a guy named Van Schwack calls a false equivalency an apples to apples comparison and the explanation takes far longer than one sentence to explain a one sentence mistake.
Van Schwack,"that comparing apples to apples I don't see the false equivalency"

Intelligent people," oh boy that's going to take a while to explain. The Van Schwack Law told me this would happen. "

Mother-in-law Ticker

The "ticker" to the upper right corner of your Face Book screen that screams out every move you make to the whole Face Book world is known as the Mother-in-Law-Ticker. It scrolls your every move to those who know you and those you don't. Some people love it but most people hate it. It is called the MIL- Ticker because of it's striking similarity to the stereotypical Mother-In-Law (nosy, loud and rude).
"The Mother-in-Law Ticker robs me of any privacy I thought I had."
