quantum balkan theory

Quantum Balkan Theory describes the theory that any attempted discussion of the 1991-2001 Balkan Yugoslavian wars will end up confusing everyone involved due to the complex and sometimes senseless nature of the conflicts

At this point, the group of geography nerds decided to just move on to another topic as they had quickly succumbed to quantum balkan theory when the borders of Croatia and Serbia were brought up.

relative motion nigger theory

When one nigger runs, all the other niggers within a 20-meter radius also run because they assume a white police officer is chasing him.

Bob: "Why do all niggers run together even though none of them committed a crime? It takes fucking forever to sort them out at the police station and half the time we just charge all of them with rape."

John: "Thats the relative motion nigger theory in full effect."

boy 2: dude last time i checked it was 7:15

Horseshoe Theory

The ''Horseshoe theory'', is the the theory in which; 1. Radical ideas that are pure antonyms hold the exact same arguments. 2. Seeing as the ideas in question hold the same arguments, anyone blindly following one belief, will eventually transfer to mindlessly following the opposing idea.

The only exceptions are the people who lose their ability to, and the people who never had the ability to. The notion behind this concept, is that all extremes are bad. The only way of falling into an extreme belief is by being brainwashed. Only The Sith deal in absolutes after all.
The Theory is generally used referring to the far left, and the far right on the political spectrum. However, it can also be used to explain other instances where someone changes their opinion on a matter.

A great example of the Horseshoe Theory, is Benito Mussolini. Mussolini was an anti-war socialist who later became a pro-war fascist.

three bullet theory

The practice of keeping only three bullets in your gun. Allows you to get enough shots in to do the damage you need to do, while also minimizing jail time in the event that you get caught. See example.

"I used to have this theory: keep three bullets in the gun
It was a mandatory year up here in Michigan
For each bullet if you got no CCW license
I tried to apply for one, they said it'd take 5-6 months
What the fuck am I supposed to do...mean time my rivals come
Hide that sumbitch in the glovebox or inside the trunk
Now, back to what my three bullet theory was
I'm triple platinum, I ain't tryin' to catch no murder one
Figured I'd shoot to wound, probably miss with at least one
But them other two gon fuck his shoulder and his kneecap up
Then I'm a say it's self defense, how come I had the gun
Was because I was at the range, on my way back from
This dude approached me on some bullshit
I'd get a year for each bullet at the most
As opposed to havin' a full clip in that"
-Eminem (Bizarre-"Hip Hop")

graph theory

A branch of discrete mathematics. The study of relations, connections, networks, connectedness, and especially graphs. A graph is a pair of sets. The elements of the first set are called vertices. They can represent people, words, letters, cities, brain cells, web pages, countries, or anything that can be associated with, or connected in some concrete or abstract way, to something else. The elements of the second set are pairs of elements from the first set. They are called edges. They can be unordered pairs or ordered pairs. In the latter case, the edges are called directed edges, and the graph is called a digraph.
To picture a graph, think of dots connected by line segments to other dots. Each line segment must have a dot at both ends. Neither the shape nor the length of a line segment matters in graph theory. All that matters is which dots are connected to which dots. You can give them names, numbers, letters, and/or colors. Or you can color the edges.

Graph theory can help you to understand games, hierarchies, networks, family trees, food webs, flow charts, algorithms, trains of thought, just about anything you can think of!

train wreck theory

A train wreck that you can't stop watching. "You don't want to stare, but you just can't look away"

Britney spears' life fits the train wreck theory, the worse it gets the more you want to watch.
