(epigraph) AKA “Holden’s Law” is when bad timing, a lack of patience, or a combination of the two result in a conflict of which dealer to buy from.
The most common example of William Holden’s Law is When your regular guy hasn’t gotten back to you in like, an hour, so you text your other guy you reach out to only when your regular is out of town, and you know his stuffs not as good, but your desperate as fuck so you say “sure”.
They respond instantly and say “come on through”, but as soon as your on the way out the door, your regular homie says “I’ll be home in 5, come on by”.

Coined on reddit in 2018 and named after a reddit user with the same name, Cencorme's Law originally referred specifically to subreddit discussions. It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric occurs.

A law in the UK affecting Uruguayans.
The law has 4 main elements
1- unlike the rest of the population, you are not innocent until proven guilty, and will be deemed guilty if a claim is made against you, even if by someone with a proven track record of lying and making false claims against people.
2- if a red nosed scottish git demands it, you'll receive double the punishment afforded to an Englishman for the same offence.
3- anyone is allowed to assault you at will without any "official" deeming there to be any rules or laws broken
4- even if you are not standing ahead of a man in a blue shirt, you will be deemed to be.
