Lawsuits

I mean.... You said they were lawsuits and now you're saying they're "equivalent to lawsuits". So... You called them lawsuits because you wanted people to think that they were lawsuits even though that they are NOT lawsuits. Not very precise in your speech there, buddy. Or maybe that's what you mean! THAT'S IT!!! By "Be precise in your speech" he means "Use your words in a way that allows you to controll how what you're saying is interpreted, RATHER THAN what you actually mean"
Hym "They are either lawsuits or they're not. You clearly want people to think they are lawsuits so you lead with the claim that they are lawsuits and then as you reveal more information you dial it back into something MORE TRUE than your original statement. See, Bertrand Russel's criticism of Socrates."

Lawsuit Ratio

Similar to common Accounting Ratios used in Financial Analysis, the Lawsuit Ratio allows for a sufficient evaluation of a decision based on legal risk related to gains. It can be evaluated in a qualitative or quantitative way, and is calculated by using the formula:

Lawsuit Ratio (LR) = Chances of Lawsuit / Potential Gains

-or-

Lawsuit Ratio (LR) = Current or future lawsuit projected Net Loss based on x decision / Current Revenue of x (or projected)

As LR approaches ZERO, the scenario becomes more favorable.
a. Because Jeff Bezos is an aggressive egg head and uses data for bad things, he had to settle out of court with William Sonoma.

Lawsuit ratio of Jeff Bezos selling identical products to William Sonoma = $25M Settlement / 1% of yearly revenue from those products

Astronomical Lawsuit Ratio!

b. If Bezos made a rocket to space that had ZERO negative effects on environment / ethics / or public opinion AND it was guaranteed that the net revenue per year of operation would be +$120B, then Lawsuit Ratio would be great :).

Lawsuit Ratio = Zero chance of lawsuit / $120B earnings

LR = 0 :)

the never ending lawsuit

So, the never ending lawsuit is a lawsuit that drags on for years and years. Really, if you think about it, both sides are undeserving. Unfortunately, friends and relatives must hear about it over and over and OVER again.
The never ending lawsuit for Michael’s estate has been going for so many years that I have lost count.

class-action lawsuit

What da students of a rude/unfair teacher bring, either against him/her directly and//or da entire school.
If Ethan Couch's papa had indeed purchased da entire school just so dat his "little prince" could be unreasonably coddled da way he preferred, da other students would likely have filed a class-action lawsuit against said brat's paternal enabler for da torture dat said special treatment was subjecting all of THEM to.

thermonuclear lawsuit

Ahem... this is just yet another threat from an owner of a "popular" social media platform. I shall not name them for fear of me getting served one of these "thermonuclear lawsuits", but their name rhymes with seal-on-tusk.
I'm not gonna just sue you, I'm gonna file a thermonuclear lawsuit on you!!! (Draconian Organ music playing in the background :/ )
