Fooligan

An individual who exhibits both qualities of a hooligan and a fool, but is not really either.

A term coined by the The Beatles in their song, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". The line is often mistaken for 'fool again', but clearly Max was being a Fooligan.
By Jove! Why must you always be such a Fooligan. These are serious matters my boy!!

"Back in school again Maxwell plays the Fooligan, Teacher gets annoyed. Wishing to avoid an unpleasant Sce, e, e, ene." - The Beatles

Theory of Maximum Foolishness

The world will arrange itself to make you--personally--feel maximally foolish.
Murphy's Law is a subset of the Theory of Maximum Foolishness. ML says "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong." Often, that is true. However, the TOMF says that if something can go RIGHT that would make you look MORE foolish, then that is what will happen.

For example, ML predicts that bread will always fall butter-side down. But, if I TELL YOU it will fall butter-side down, when I go to actually SHOW YOU, the bread will fall butter-side up, making me feel maximally foolish.

The TOMF is true, but neither verifiable nor falsifiable to others because, whatever conditions you establish to test it, only YOU will know if the result made you feel maximally foolish. Of course it will, but only you will know that.
