Implied Parenthesis
A term consistantly used by stubborn mathematically challenged morons who don't even know the order of operations.
Typically used as a defense when such people fail to answer a multi-part equation, and don't feel like admitting their mistake.
When a person uses this term they are basically saying that there should have been brackets surrounding certain parts of a math equation.

Person 3: If that were true then the entire order of operations would be untrue.
