Someone that wants to keep their sovereignty yet rejects that very same sovereignty.
This occurs primarily when a Gammon that voted for a hard Brexit to get their sovereignty back, has a fit due to the law of the land (sovereignty) going against their wishes.
Or, when the act of a proroguement was deemed by a Gammon that it was not used for 'particular purpose' (i.e. Brexit), yet the Gammon insists the 'particular purpose' was affected by the deemed illegality of said proroguement.

"This is a prime example of a Gammon Paradox, as he insists the supreme court is the bad ones in all this, but the courts are part of our sovereign state."

Donna recommended her and Steve go to Chinese food for dinner. Steve opposed the idea even though he never tried Chinese food. Donna pushed and eventually Steve conceded and they had Chinese food for dinner. After trying the food Steve fell in love with Chinese food wonder why he opposed it and was never willing to try before. Therefore being a victim of the Opposition Paradox.

The "Looters Paradox" is a phenomenon that occurs in survival games and looter shooters, where the Player or "Looter" cannot find the item they are desperately looking for when they are putting their effort into looking for it, but will find it when they've forgotten about it or are looking for a completely different item.
It's a frustrating battle with a games RNG that always seems to target you at odd moments. For example, if the player is looking for an "Apple", they will not find the apple, but will only find Bananas and Oranges. But the moment they top looking for the Apple and start looking for the Bananas and Oranges, they will only find the apple.

"Ugh, I've been looking for this item for hours, but I just cannot find it! I hate the looters paradox!"
"Wh-... what the f---? Why is it always that, when I stop looking for this item, it is all I will ever find?!"

Often used by deeply-in-love guys who want to stay out of trouble while reminding their girl that they're hopelessly, ridiculously hers.

Rano: "Why did you forget our date night?"
Mahir: "Because of the Bari Mahir Paradox. I'm yours, so technically... you forgot it through me."
Rano: rolls eyes but secretly loves it

The Brooks Paradox is a modern slang referring to a mob of people / a group of people (in some occasions , a mob supprting one person) rapidly changing their arguments to whatever sounds the most morally correct regarding a topic they are defensive about or want to "strawman" their opponents in a debate. The catch to it is that , most of the time , it consists in two ideas being proposed that fundamentally condradict each other , but the user doesn't notice it as they focus on trying to sound like the most morally correct one in the debate. The name is a reference to Shad M. Brooks' (older brother of famous artist Jazza) recent controversy on the X/Twitter platform.
Shad says : "AI art is easy to use and is meant to democratize art! Stop gatekeeping art !"
Shad also says : "AI art is a complex tool that requires months of training and skill-develloping ! Not everyone can use it by just pressing a button !"
Everyone says : "The Brooks Paradox strikes again !"
