Merritt's Law

An extension of Godwin’s Law, Merritt’s Law states that as an online argument grows longer and more heated, it becomes increasingly likely that a participant will stop discussing things and just throw up a series of “memes” (see below). When such an event occurs, the person guilty of running afoul of Merritt's Law has effectively forfeited the argument.

Properly used, the term “meme” refers broadly to “an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from one person to another in a culture” but as used above, the term “meme” refers to an image with words typed onto it spread via social media. The words are not searchable and, as it turns out, when the words are intended to be a quote, it very frequently turns out to be a misquote.
You started using memes instead of words so, according to Merritt's Law, you lost!

A super hot brunette who is hotter than the sun
She had a hot bod that makes guys drool
She is not a fan of white foods
She is a very talented singer, dancer, artist, poet, and comedian
Her milkshakes really do bring all the boys to the yard
Every guy ever: Woah! That girl must be a Merritt! She hotter than the sun!

Bryan Merritt

The act of having unprotected sex, usually resulting in pregnancy.
Me and my girlfriend totally pulled a Bryan Merritt last night. She is buying a pregnancy test now.
Bryan Merritt by Acheron Raene August 1, 2011
Pretty much the coolest person alive. If female, she has her hand in a thousand projects at once. Always to start, hardly ever finishes. Likes smoking weed and hanging out with friends. Pretty much wants to do nothing and get paid for it. Likes to abide by the law unless she doesn't think it's a good law. Travels a lot.

If male, struggles with being extremely cocky due to amount of women fall for him. Close to his family and loves his dog.
"Oh do you want to paint the house today?"

"Um, you know we won't finish, don't be such a Merritt"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
