Murphy

A murphy is typically an older middle-aged man, not always a father, who is stout in build and frequents the golf course. A murphy also tends to be of Irish descent and is more often than not seen sporting a hoodless wind jacket.

This group of murphy’s need to let us play through.

Murphy's Law of "Junk"

"You can hold onto something for decades, and neither you nor anyone else will ever have a use for it, but then just as soon as you throw it out, either you will suddenly need it for something, or --- even more 'painful' --- **someone else** will come to you and humbly ask, 'Do you happen to have an extra ___?'" Rrrrrggggghhhhh----!!!

I'd had a couple of old 55-gallon oil-drums stashed in da garage for da past thirty years --- my grampa had given 'em to me when he and Gram were downsizing to move into an assisted-living apartment --- and they'd just sat there and gathered dust in da corner all that time. But then just two days --- TWO STINKIN' DAYS!! --- after I'd sent 'em to da crusher for recycling, a low-income neighbor dropped by and asked me if he could have them to use as burn-barrels --- guess dat was a classic case of Murphy's Law of "Junk" at work!!

Murphy's Law of Staff-Availability

"If you have to request assistance/advice from a store/office-employee, you will be obliged to wander all over da place and "search till Doomsday" to find someone who is not presently too occupied to listen to you. Yet once you finally receive your answer, THEN there will be ABSOLUTE MULTITUDES OF PERSONNEL just lounging around and making themselves available, and so you will feel like a total JACKA** for not having simply waited a few more minutes to ask your question, rather than wearing out your feet and legs from running all over da shop to find someone to ask!"

I spent over five minutes scampering up and down the aisles at Wally-World trying to find a "free" employee to ask about the availability of a certain product, but then afterwards, there were several non-busy staffpeople whom I met en-route back to my shopping-cart whom I could have asked just as easily at that point --- talk about a classic case of Murphy's Law of Staff-Availability! :P :P

Murphy's grace

when something that should go wrong does not go wrong

literally the opposite of Murphy's law

it was by murphy's grace that our whole family didn't perish in that midnight fire while we were all asleep

I fell off a mountain but was saved by murphy's grace

Ciaran Murphy

One who is best described as "me." That is correct; I am Ciaran. Congratulations if anyone in my immediate circle finds this, you think about me too much. Worry not, onlookers, I doubt anyone I know will actually see this. I merely wanted to say that in the off chance it actually happens. If you are currently reading this and know me, let me know, if you dare.

I refuse to give an example, I won't bend to your will, Urban Dictionary.

For reasons that I cannot control, I must include the word that I am "defining." So... Ciaran Murphy.

Murphy’s Monday

A term taken from Murphy’s Law, A Murphy’s Monday is a Monday that is so incredibly annoying that it feels like everything that can go wrong IS going wrong. It is a day filled with minor inconveniences that make your day harder, but not hard enough to be impossible.

A Murphy’s Monday is not usually the worst day of your life, but certainly the most inconvenient.

Joseph: “Dude some guy just shot my friend’s grandma!”
Lukas: “Bro’s having a Murphy’s Monday.”
