Parsons' law

The law stating that a piece of equipment will not work, named after physicist Nick Parsons

This Maltese cross tube isn't working, clearly it obeys Parsons' law!

This is not the way it should be, it must be Parsonic.

Jolson's Law

Subculture Ɵ becomes mainstream as soon as "sexy Ɵ girls" becomes a popular porn genre.

"I went to Google, trying to find a picture of an extremely frumpy nerd female to counter your virginity quip. Instead all I got was hot "nerd" girl porn."
"Jolson's Law strikes again."

Taylor's Law

Banks and corporates have a nasty habit of using buzzwords to promote their product in a way start-ups never do. As such Simon Taylor (host of the Fintech Insider podcast) noted, there is an inversely proportional relationship between how many Buzzwords (AI, Machine Learning and Blockchain) a bank uses, and how good their product is.

Taylor's law: The amount of times you mention AI, ML or Blockchain in your product is inversley proportional to how good it is

Damn that press release from BIG BANK sure proves Taylor's Law. Did you see the amount of times they said AI?
