Occam’s Racist

When someone claims to be a person of color, but espouses white supremacist beliefs. The explanation with the fewest sssumptions, and thus most likely the correct one per Occam’s razor, is that the person is actually just white and racist.

I know he said he was black, but all of his posts in /r/the_donald make me think he’s white, per Occam’s racist.

Occam's Hairy Dildo

A rule that, like Occam's Razor, requires you to favor the simplest explanations over the complex ones, but with the addition of also favoring the sexiest explanations over the mundane ones. An explanation of a thing is using Occam's Hairy Dildo if and only if simplification and sexualization are paired together into a beautiful, explanatory nutsack.

Student: Hey professor, can you please explain that notion using Occam's Hairy Dildo, because it's a little hard for me to grasp without visual aides.

Professor: Hell yea! I got you, fam.

When you explain a simple concept using a bunch of fancy words so you can appear smart.

Occam’s Balloon

A principle suggesting that when confronted with a problem or mystery, the most convoluted, outlandish, or improbable explanation is often the one people are most likely to believe — especially if it inflates their sense of drama, suspicion, or personal importance.

Forget the simple answer — remember Occam’s Balloon: if there’s a secret cabal of lizard people behind it, someone out there believes it.
