friend in law

When two people have the same level of friendship with a mutual but they exist in different contexts of the mutual's life. The two can and likely do cross paths from time to time, but without the mutual the two have no unique connection to one another.

Ex: my best friend from college and my best friend from my hometown are friend in laws

Girl 1: Are you coming to my bachelorette party this weekend?
Girl 2: Yes! And I'm so excited to finally meet my friend in laws!!

Hutson’s Law

When trying to figure out what a project will cost and how long it will take to complete, you take the worst case scenarios that you can possibly imagine for both time and cost. When you have those 2 numbers you then multiply them both by 4 and that will give you an accurate estimate of what the project will actually cost and how long it will actually take to complete.

Aka: The 4x4 Rule

“Dude! The addition to my mom’s house was supposed to take a month and cost $2000. It’s been 4 months and you hand me a bill for $8000!! What the actual Eff?!?!?”

“I’m sorry man! I ignored Hutson’s Law and it bit me in the ass again. Tell your mom her dungeon will be ready soon, but she’s going to need to take a few more trips around the block to pay for it”
