Gramanic Law

A codified set of immutable linguistic principles, transcending time and culture, that govern the structure and sanctity of grammar across all written works. Rooted in divine reverence for the written word, Gramanic Law is believed to have been established to preserve clarity, order, and meaning, regardless of the era in which a text was crafted. These laws are viewed as sacred tenets, unyielding to the evolution of language, embodying a universal truth about communication itself.
Scholars of ancient linguistics often debated whether the discrepancies in the manuscript were violations of Gramanic Law or merely the result of scribal error.

The Law of Candidature

The (admittedly largely unfounded) theory which posits that the quality of a pool of candidates exponentially increases in proportion to the length of the application period.
Regrettably, Oliver Jones was powerless to extend the school newspaper's application deadline for the 2015-16 Leadership Team, despite agreeing with basic tenets of The Law of Candidature.

Gibb's Second Law

Coined by Gibbs himself, it is short for 'Gibb's second law of relational-dynamics'

It states that:

Relationships between members in a squad will not last for long and when they do end they will tend towards the detriment of the squad as a whole and will probably involve a lot of angry paras sent over iMessage and/or Whatsapp.
Person 1: "Did you hear that Sarah and Matt broke up?"
Person 2: "Yeah, I had 374 unread messages on Whatsapp"
Person 1: "What can you do, it's just Gibb's Second Law!"

O'Driscoll's law

The feeling of self righteousness that someone gets when they believe they have won a debate, when in reality, their opposition didn't want to participate in conversation.
O'Driscoll, "the earth is flat, I can prove it"

Opposition, **shakes head and walks away for fear of wasting time trying to explain common sense to someone whose already advertised that they are out to lunch**

O'Driscoll then feels as though the person had no contest, no debate, no facts, and no backbone to stand up for yourself.

When in reality, the audience just didn't want to bother educating someone so far behind in sense.

This can also be applied to the situation where someone challenging another person to a fight, is met with reluctance and they attribute it to how strong or intimidating they must be, when in reality, no one wanted to fight them as it's a barbaric act.

O'Driscoll's law is being so ignorant towards your perception of why you're being avoided, that you attribute people avoiding you to your intelligence or other positive characteristics.

Murphy's Law opportunist

Someone who utilizes the "reliable" bad-luck-causing syndrome of Murphy's Law by actually turning it his own benefit or that of his friends. Extra points if these other folks actually hire him for pay to "suffer on their behalf".
One excellent example of a Murphy's Law opportunist would be someone who hangs out his laundry to dry on an occasion when rain is desired.
