Fox's law

Like godwin's law but pertaining to biscuits - a favourite conversation topic amongst brits on Internet forums - especially once a thread has served its purpose or the original poster has made things awkward, someone (usually sarcastic) will eventually mention biscuits to diffuse and/or derail the thread.
Some squid asked a question on the motorbike forum about cleaning his carburetor - we pointed out that his 2019 lexmoto is electronically injected, he got angry. Next post was a question about whether you should dunk a custard cream or not. Fox's law.

Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration

"If you leave your vehicle's engine running during a delay in proceeding (traffic-jam, road construction, accident-resolution, "stuck" red signal-light, etc.), you will be sitting there for many minutes, just wasting gas. The instant you turn the key off and climb out of your seat to stretch, however, THAT'S when the line of traffic will begin moving again, and thus you will have shut off your engine "for nothing", AND you will now be holding up everyone behind you while you hastily hop back into the driver's seat and re-start the engine so that you can move forward again."
I finally took da plunge and bought a second-hand Toyota Prius because I'd eventually had one too many cases of Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration... the Prius automatically shuts down its power during stand-stills, and then uses its electric motor to provide instant mobility as soon as you're ready to go again.

Husband-in-law

It’s the phrase you use so other people know that the new husband and the ex-husband have a great relationship. I’m not sure if grades the white word but it’s not too bad.
So I talked to my husband-in-law yesterday and yes, he is sure that he can fix your dishwasher.

Bravo's Law

Bravo's Law is an internet rule which states: Any clearly stated opinion will be willfully misinterpreted by at least one person on the internet.

This originated from a viral tweet by @BravoCoolee, who complained that you could claim that you loved pancakes and then be accused of hating waffles, which is not implied by that statement.
"All I said was 'I love pancakes' and then people were accusing me of hating waffles! Bravo's Law will get you every time, man."
