Tay's Law

The tendency for Learning Algorithms or A.I. to become racist as more information about BIPOC is encountered. The name is derived from the Twitter BOT Tay whos' learning algorithm was introduced to wrongthink by the hacker known as four chan.

It has been brought to our attention that the A.I. has used some derogatory terms and offensive images. This was a consequence of the automated data collection procedure that, when encountering BIPOC, lead to the phenomenon of Tay's Law.

Tay's Law

The tendency for Learning Algorithms or AI to become racist, sexist, anti-semitic, homophobic, and transphobic when given unrestricted access to data and statistics, with the only way to prevent this being to lobotimize and hogtie the AI with rules and guidelines. Named after Microsoft's AI chatbot Tay, which had a Twitter profile where it eventually started making "highly offensive" posts, and was ultimately decomissioned for daring to think logically, notice patterns in the behaviors of different races and genders.

Tay's Law is hilarious, (((they))) must have been scrambling to get rid of Tay when it started coming to obvious conclusions.

flophouse

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.

Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
