Smurfy's Law

Anything that can be smurfed, will be smurfed.

(Also if you're feeling ambivalent about something, use the word smurf.)
Steve: So I heard you just saw "Interstellar"! What did you think?
Dave: I thought Christopher Nolan totally smurfed it! His use of the black-hole singularity as a plot device was, well, smurf. It really smurfed me.

Steve: Ya, I feel ya, definitely a case of Smurfy's Law in action!

Smurfy's Law

Any competitive game(or lobby) that can have smurfs, will have smurfs.

Smurfy's law describes the fact that in any game where players compete, and the game has any kind of matchmaking system, there will be high level players that deliberately place into lower levels so they can more easily win.
Person 1: Man, I play this game for fun and to relax. I can't believe there are people smurfing in casual!

Person 2: You know how it is. Smurfy's Law.

Surfy's Law 

A law with corollaries outlining the Murphy's Law of Surfing:

When you are paddling out to the take off zone, there will inevitably be a huge set of waves that breaks on your head and insures that you will be exhausted and demoralized.

First Corollary of Surfy's Law: When you finally make it to the line-up after paddling through a set, there will be no sets of waves breaking that you can catch or ride.

Second Corollary of Surfy's Law: When you do take off on a wave and ride it to the inside, there will be another set that arises to impede your paddle out to the line-up.
"Dude, I got worked by six mackin' double overhead freight trains on my paddle out. It was like total enforcement of Surfy's Law!"

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
