The von Clausewitz Gambit

The von Clausewitz Gambit is an unusual opening move on a dating app, whereby the person making the opening move delivers a pick-up line derived from Carl von Clausewitz, usually as a reference to his masterpiece 'Vom Kriege' ('On War').

"Did you see that screenshot Kevin put in the groupchat? He used the von Clausewitz Gambit on a girl he matched with on Hinge!"

"Yeah man that's insane, I can't believe it worked!"

The Mockingbird Clause

Grants anyone the ability to use the n-word as long as the person saying it was quoting a sentence which uses the n-word. Based on the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" in which the n-word would be quoted by any student reading the book to the class and not necessarily used in a hateful manner. This also applies to singing songs.

Student: Teacher! He said a bad word!

Teacher: He was just reading the book, why would I punish him? The Mockingbird Clause absolves him of any wrongdoing.

The Penguin Clause

When it is so impossibly cold that blankets aren't working, two (or more) people must huddle together for warmth.
Works well with one bed trope

Drew: Me too:(

Lawson's clause

Lawson's clause is a modern adaptation to the traditionally established rule of dating (see "Half your age plus seven") regarding the socially acceptable age difference between couples in a relationship. Lawson's clause stipulates that, when there is an exorbitant amount of money or net worth involved with one of the parties, then the resulting age determined by the established formula is then modified. The resulting acceptable age will be multiplied by zero, and 18 will then added.
For example: a 48 year-old man can date a 31 year-old woman without social scrutiny (48/2=24+7=31). However, if the man is stinking rich, we then divide answer by zero, and add 18 (31x0=0+18=18). Thus, a very wealthy 48 year-old man can date an 18 year-old woman without scrutiny. This works both ways as well, male or female (see Demi Moore).

Q: Bill Belichick is dating a 24 year old? He's like 72... isn't that inappropriate?
A: But he's so stinking rich! Lawson's clause grants him an exemption.

Legal exemption clause

If you are having court cases about this you are in violation of the legal exemption clause. I don't care if the judge has to bring it to me themselves. All of it. At once. Immediately.

Hym "YOU agreed to the terms of service. It's time for you to pay up. There is no court filing that need to happen here. And doing so is a violation of the legal exemption clause. You have taken way too long and I am starting to consider abusing it."

Exemption From Law Clause

Guys, you really gotta read those terms of service.

Hym "The explicit intent of the exemption from law clause is to prevent you from using false allegations and civil suits to anything that would be considered 'UN-PAYING' me. Whatever happens in response to your failure to adequately credit or pay me with resume until the circumstance that you do anything that could be considered 'UN-PAYING' me. That's what it's for."
