Malcolm’s Law 

Very similar to Murphy’s Law or Sod’s Law, but with one important difference. Instead of “if something can go wrong it will do”, it now becomes ”with a Malcolm on the project it won’t just go wrong, but it will go wrong in the worst possible way.” See also Finagle’s Law.
“It’s a total disaster; there is no way that it could possibly have happened!”
“With that Heale Malcolm involved what did you expect? It’s Malcolm’s Law, mate.”

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
