Lollygash

Apparently, I almost own this keyword so I might as well define it fully.

A lollygash is the cut you get on your tongue when you're trying to find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop, and the candy develops a nasty, sharp, edge.

Lollygash is also an (arguably horrendous) genre of music/mash up in which porn sound tracks are mixed with electronica.

The Snob Horizon

I collect snobberies.

I like knowing what makes some things high-quality and other things crappy (it's different for every kind of thing), and being able to distinguish the subtle differences between the two.

However, the traits that distinguish good from bad are arbitrary and, like fashion, are often cyclic and based on class/expense rather than any intrinsic measure of quality in the snobbed object.

Veto

Kristina suggested this at a party recently.

Everyone should be given one veto in their lifetime that they can use to break up a relationship they think is particularly awful.

Interventions don't always work. And sometimes they cause hard feelings.

I'm pretty sure that everyone can identify a relationship they know of that someone should have stopped.

On the flip side, it's possible that if this rule was enacted, all relationships would be vetoed, ie. there's always at least one person who would veto any relationship.

Some additional rules that were suggested:

The Stakes Are Low

Usually the stakes are low.

Why pitch a fit if that's the case?

What's the worst that could happen?

Usually the worst case scenario isn't terrible.

n of 1

n of 1 is a powerful tool for understanding the universe badly.

Please let me know if you find any more examples of n of 1 in the wild.

Wangston's Law

Humans should not waste their time discussing any question that can be answered by a robot (google, wikipedia, etc.)
