Razoring

A term used during drinking when a "razor" (a drunk individual who is extremely aggressive and loud) starts wildin' out and causing issues. They will often verbally and physically begin attacking the people around them, including but not limited to their friends, staff, and strangers looking in their direction.

Anon’s razor

A dictum asserting that the advocacy by a senior UK doctor for Physician Assistants (PAs) or Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) in preference to their own medical trainees invariably indicates a diversion of their clinical duties in favour of private practice. This principle is regarded as an unquestioned truth within certain circles, reflecting a strong conviction about the motivations and priorities of such doctors. Their motives are unearthed by anonymous accounts on social media
“Have you noticed how Dr. Thompson is always pushing for more PAs and ANPs, rather than helping us trainees?” asked Dr. Jones.

“Yeah, it’s like Anon’s Razor in action,” replied Dr. Lee, “He’s probably more focused on his private practice these days.”

Elon's Razor

A princple stating that:

When examining any given anonymous post on the internet that sings the praises of (Elon Musk's) incomparable genius and contribution to the progress of the human race, it is impossible to determine whether the post was made by a high school freshman, or a divorcee in their late thirties.

"Elon Musk" can be substituted with any silicon Valley con-man.
"I swear, these crypto bros all sound like they're only 15, but half the time when I go to their profile, they're balding."

"Elon's Razor, man."

Occamom's razor

1st def: Not a "problem-solving" principle that, when Wife/Mom presented with competing hypothetical answers to a problem, The Wife/Mom will select the one situation that makes the most assumptions, and will always cause collateral anxiety and illogical responses for everyone except the Mom/Wife.

2nd def: The most complex reaction to a simple situation... is what it is ...period

Background : Our kids and I , have a wonderful Wife/Mom, We are so fortunate ....But, all three of us get a kick out of the least likely situation to be the one that never (statistically ) ever happens .

I welcome any help on articulating this better :) Im sure everyone has experienced this.. thank you for your consideration
Using Occamom's razor,: My Wife when asked if our 12 and 13 year old daughters could walk around the block of our extremely safe neighborhood . She said no thinking that they would get get kidnapped by a suspicious white van she saw the last week .

I welcome any help on articulating this better :) Im sure everyone has experienced this.. thank you for your consideration

Wallace's Razor

Never attribute to a conspiracy what could be attributed to inefficient bureaucracy. Conspiracy theories are generally fueled by people trying to make sense of the unexplained. People who have not been a part of really large organizations overestimate the level of internal coordination that actually happens. Generally, they are too slow moving to accmplish big complex things quickly and quietly. This mostly applies to "Enemy Above" type conspiracies. In short, the government or other large organizations is rarely competent enough to pull of a large conspiracy, and almost definitely could not keep it a secret - it probably just moves slow.

Related to Hanlon's razor (Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity), but more focused on whether conspiracy theories are true. It was penned by Jamie Wallace (@jamiemw) in 2023 to after 20+ years of working in large organizations.
Wallace's Razor would explain why Pearl Harbor happened, the bureaucracy of the Navy prevented signals intel from getting to the right sources in time, it wasn't that FDR just wanted an excuse for war.
