Dallan's law
Dallan's law is an epigram that is typically stated as: "If angle looks like 90 degrees, then it is 90 degrees."
The law is often followed by mistake in math where someone assumes that an angle in a triangle is 90 degrees so they can use rules that only can be applied to right triangles.
"90 degrees" can sometimes be a metaphor for something else e.g., "If someone sees a car as red, then it is red". This means that a thing can be perceived as something else even though it is obvious that it only can be one thing. A washing machine can therefore be perceived as a rocket launcher if that person is stupid enough.

Example 1:
David: Why do I get the wrong answer when I use the Pythagorean theorem?
Teacher: Beacause it does not contain a right triangle. You probably utilized Dallan's law.
Example 2:
David: What a nice avocado you got there!
Åsa: Thanks David, but that's a potato. I guess you're right though according to Dallan's law.

Dellana
Dellana is synymomous with "Goddess". If you are fortunate enough to be graced with the presence of a Dellana, count yourself lucky. A Dellana is sexy, smart, passionate, and strong. The Dellana is not a person to be messed with, yet once you are embraced as family or friend, you can be certain that she will fight to the death to protect you. The Dellana exists in less than .0001% of the population, and one of life's true pleasures is to be fortunate to know one.

Dallan
Dallan is the type of person who’s misunderstood. On the outside he seems to be the most confident and strong person out there, although he does have those qualities, his internal conflicts forces him to lose sight of who he really is. He’s in his head a lot, thinking the worse things about himself. When in reality he is very intelligent, interesting, nerdy (in every good way possible), responsible, hardworking, hilarious, considerate, sweet and just amazing overall. And don’t get me started on how handsome he is.
He has this type of personality you can’t get any where else. He can make you smile with just the look in his eyes.
And although he might have some past turmoil that he needs to work through, just knowing how unbelievably capable he is in his daily life gives you more then enough faith he’ll break every barrier he needs to.
Dallan is unbelievably special person, if you have him in your life then never let him go. Because he is the definition of that kind of unconditional love that always puts you and your needs first.
And also he is fucking handsome as hell!! God took great care and time on him.
