lovejoy's law 

An appeal to "please think of the children". Often used to justify shitty laws. Named after The Simpson's Helen Lovejoy who was always imploring others to please think of the children.

US Government: "We need access to your encrypted smartphone."

Troggie42: "Not gonna happen."

US Government: "But a child could die if we can't scour your phone!"

Troggie42: "Lovejoy's Law, buddy. It means your law is horseshit."

F.S.A. (Free Shit Army)

The F.S.A. is used primarily to describe "the 47%" of US citizens who not only pay nothing in federal taxes, but actually believe that they are entitled to the fruits of the labors of others. It is also used to describe a large portion of the Democratic Party who rely on the government to provide food stamps, subsidized housing allotments (Section 8), and sign themselves up for every bit of free stuff possible (also see "Ghetto Breeding Machines.").

You can often identify members of the F.S.A. (Free Shit Army) by their SNAP/Food Stamp cards, latest urban fashions, Section 8 Housing voucher-stubs, their $300. Nike tennis shoes, Apple Smartphones, and their 60" Plasma televisions.

A show with contestants and judges who contradict the title every single second the show's on the air.

Why do David Hasslehoff and Sharon Osbourne get to decide who's talented and who's untalented on America's Got Talent?

Pinkham's Law 

No matter how big an asshole in an article may be, someone will always step in to defend the asshole

I want to post a collection of stories about all of the ridiculous conversations I've had while working in customer service, but I'm worried I'm going to get a lot of Pinkham's Law responses.
