Also known as the 4x4 Rule.
When trying to figure out what a project will cost and how long it will take 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.

Get the Hutson’s Lawmug. The thesis stating that one obvious and preventable death is fated to happen before any obvious solutions, changes or reforms are enacted, ie. decapitation by ice skates when playing hockey and the introduction of neck guards to the sport.
Person 1: "Hey, do you remember that shaky pipe at the bottom of the apartment building that the landlord never fixed?"
Person 2: "Yeah! What about it?
Person 1: "Well, it finally busted and the valve domed someone on the head and killed him! And after that, of course NOW the landlord decides to fix it!"
Person 2: "How preventable. The Tamr Law takes another..."

Get the Law of Cade R.mug. A pattern where an otherwise non-sexual artwork or written work unintentionally contains hints of the creator's fetishes.
The phrase stems from the creator of the analogue horror series Mandela Catalog, Alex Kister, admitting that he is sexually interested in the concept of doppelgängers, a core feature of the narrative.
