The Cobra Effect

The term Cobra Effect originated in an anecdote set at the time of British rule of colonial India. The British government was concerned about the number of venomous cobra snakes in Delhi. The government therefore offered bounty for every dead cobra. Initially this was a successful strategy as large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward. Eventually, however, enterprising people began to breed cobras for theincome. When the government became aware of this, the reward program was scrapped, causing the cobra breeders to set the now-worthless snakes free. As a result, the wild cobra population further increased. - The apparent solution for the problem made the situation even worse - .

The Cobra Effect describes the law of unintended consequences. Although it sounds like it should be the name for an AMAZING movie starring Vin Diesel.

Shanghai Cobra

Taking a crap in a urinal. A long turd will stick up of the edge and look like a snake peering out.

I was so pissed I had to work on Saturday that I left a Shanghai Cobra in the bathroom

bowl cobra

a turd that coils itself around the toilet bowl, resurfaces from the water and comes back to "bite you in the ass"; also known as a plumber's nightmare, this large amount of fecal matter will leave the donor several pounds lighter after depositing it. Must be one continous coil of feces to qualify... no floaters and must break the surface of the water like a cobra out of the basket... no regular toilet snake

Bill: Hey bro, you've been in the bathroom for hours
Pete: Ya I had to drop the kids off at the pool, but instead of kids, it was a bowl cobra... the likes of which have never been seen.... it too 3 flushes and plunger to get that turd down the hole... plus i got crap marks from the bite, so i had to take a shower.
Bill: well, light a damn match or something.
Pete: Yeah, well i did, and half a can of air freshener, but that puppy lingers.

Crotch Cobra

Penis, the snake-like protrusion between a man's legs

She gave me the word and I pulled out the crotch cobra.

I put my crotch cobra so far down her throat she gagged.

Watch out, my crotch cobra spits

Cobra Sock

A sock which has been jerked off in so many times it stands on it own, guarding the room like a cobra.

I went into Josh's room and his Cobra sock was looking straight into my eyes.
