Beare's Law of Accelerating Catastrophe at Sea - BLAC

At sea a problem can accelerate into a crisis at a rate proportional to the conditions

An example of Beare's Law of Accelerating Catastrophe at Sea - BLAC.

Imagine you are at sea and sailing along nicely a few miles off the coast of Corsica. You have the Genoa poled out and are running downwind. You are single handed. You pop down below to make yourself a cup of tea. Everything is fine. All of a sudden the wind shifts and you gybe. The pole slams across the forestay bent; the genoa is backed and the pole is trapped under the sail. As the boat lurches you are scolded with coffee. You rush on deck to sea the wind picking up and the boat floundering.

You are confident you will soon bring things under control. However, the wind is gusting alarmingly. A squawl from the hills. You cannot get the whisker pole off to furl the sail. You look up and in horror you see a ship coming at you dead ahead. The wind gusts and the boat is knocked down. You slip and land hard on deck bruising your arm.

And so it accumulates as you experience Beare's Law of Accelerating Catastrophe at Sea - BLAC.

accellerate

(v.) to close a cell phone conversation with inexplicable rapidity, through hurried and often irrational speech, especially due to external unforeseen circumstances.

When her ex boarded her bus, she accellerated, "ohmygodi'matmystopithink!" and dropped the mobile into her shopping bag, leaving her current lover baffled and irritated on the other end.

Accelerator

The accelerator is a sex move in which the man licks his index finger and tickles the womans anus while taking her from behind. The unexpected tingling sensation is a surprising and highly pleasurable experience for both parties.

Nic: Hey man have you tried the accelerator yet?
Andy: Yeah man i did it last night! She won't have it any other way from now on.

upvote acceleration

when you post a good post on a social platform (for instance reddit) and that post slowly gets upvoted, but when more people notice that particular post, your post will be upvoted faster and faster until it eventually reaches frontpage.

dude 1 :"oh shit, come over here bro! my post has been noticed by many people! my post gets upvoted faster and faster! it's like an upvote acceleration!"
dude 2:"nice bro, you'll hit the frontpage soon"!
