Milgram's exception  

Share definition Flag
The Milgram experiment was a series of seminal social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram, which measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with their personal conscience.

In Milgram's first set of experiments, 65 percent of experiment participants administered the experiment's final 450-volt shock, though many were very uncomfortable doing so; at some point, every participant paused and questioned the experiment, some said they would refund the money they were paid for participating in the experiment.

NO PARTICIPANT STEADFASTLY REFUSED TO ADMINISTER SHOCKS BEFORE THE 300-VOLT LEVEL.
Student 1 : Wow that took some guts! Carla sure knows how to stand up to the 'ol prof

Student 2 : yeah, a real Milgram's exception if I ever saw one...

malgrammarian 

Share definition Flag
mal'-gram-mayr'-eeyan... (n) - a person that habitually and ruthlessly slaughters the english language by ignoring basic principals of grammar, punctuation and spelling; including, but not limited to various media (text messages, written and oral communications), printed advertisements, posters, art, and yard sale signs. Much like alcoholism, the malgrammarian is addicted to poor grammar, and the habit can devastate his/her life, as well as their family's, friends' and co-workers.
Odds are that one out of every four people will encounter problems due to poor grammar in their workplace at sometime. Malgrammarians show patterns of poor concentration, missed deadlines, misinterpreted instructions, errors in judgement and lack of attention to details. Malgrammarians rationalize the problem by denial. They deny that grammar is a problem or that any of the problems in their lives are caused by poor grammar. In spite of all the harm it causes, the malgrammarian is unable to control their use of poor grammar.
