What is corollary?

A provision of Godwin's Law.

In a discussion regarding religion, personal freedoms, or politics, the probability of someone or something being compared to terrorism and/or the events surrounding 9/11 eventually approaches one.

"The argument's over. He started blaming gays for 9/11 and after that the gay marriage debate just went downhill from there. Miller's Corollary proves itself yet again."

Corollary - what is it?

Much like Godwin's Corollary, but involving the phrase "slippery slope". The person stating in an argument that something is a "slippery slope", the discussion is ended and the mentioner has lost the argument.

While on a forum discussing "mandated vaccinations", Jim said it was a slippery slope to death panels. Everyone else recognized this as a sign that no rational discussion was going to occur and the discussion was ended. Jim is an asshole. Barbara hated it when a discussion was ended via the LDB Corollary.

What does "corollary" mean?

Keener's Corollary states, "The s--t you take is the s--t you get."

Keener's Corollary is name given to a philosophical statement related to accepting and dealing with criticism, often given in a harsh, demeaning or insulting manner. The Corollary was first quipped by notable Western Pennsylvania radio personality Scott Keen1, and hence was given the name "Keener's Corollary."

The Corollary's text serves to inspire people who find themselves in a work or personal relationship that has become abrasive, abusive or toxic. It implies that the amount of harassment given to a particular person is directly proportional to the amount of harassment that the person is willing to tolerate. It implies that if a person becomes more resistant and expressive of displeasure to the source of such harassment, that the behavior will not be tolerated, then the source of that harassment will refrain from any future harassment.

It should be noted that Keener's Corollary is not based in any research-supported psychological or philosophical foundations. It was created purely for anecdotal and comical value.

Can you believe he lets his boss talk to him like that? He's such a pussy. Someone needs to teach him Keener's Corollary.

Corollary - what does it mean?

In response to "Xabys Law" (people that have pronouns listed in their social media profile are certifiably insane 99% of the time), A TikTok account "DanFromHR" introduced Daniel's Corollary (or The Christian Corollary) which is- if someone has the words "Christian", "Catholic", "Jesus/God is King", reference scripture, the bible or "Jesus Loves You" in their social media profile, there is a 90% chance they will either 1. Go in direct opposition of Christian values/edicts 2. Tell you "Jesus Loves You" when they can't debate your point or 3. Weaponize their Christianity and act oppressed.

We were in this really good debate about Abortion and sure enough someone came into the live and said we were all going to hell for "murdering babies" - checked out the profile, and of course, Daniel's Corollary as he had a scripture verse in his profile. After telling us we were all going to hell and that we were responsible for murdering hundreds of millions of babies, he insulted us and then said Jesus loved us before the moderator finally blocked him.

Corollary - meaning

An axiomatic theorum which states: There is a frequent correlation between a woman's mental instability and her sexual passion.

"Remember that chick he left the bar with last night? He said she was all over him in her car before they even left the parking lot; then her bouncer-ex-boyfriend started smacking on the hood with a timber chain and..."

"Another proof for the McAllister Corollary!"

Corollary - definition

Schnoo's Corollary: The first person to invoke the name of Stalin in an argument (outside of a discussion of Russian history or politics) should be immediately sent to the gulag.

Rush Limbaugh, in defending his inane remarks on "phony soldiers", declared out of the blue that "Stalinists have taken over the Left" in America. To follow the strictures of Schnoo's Corollary, Limbaugh should be shown what a real gulag is like forthwith.

Corollary - slang

Related to Lloyd Webber's Law Of Temporal Positioning. The law states taht people who arrive at a theatre after their performance has started will always have seats in the middle of a row, causing as much annoyance for the other theatregoers as possible.

The Lyttleton Theatre at the NT (London) seems to know which theatregoers will be late, and invoke Mackintosh's Corollary on purpose.

Corollary

a rule meant to prevent the unnecessary wastes of time waiting on another person who is woefully and unrepentantly inconsiderate

The cuauhtemock corollary is as follows: If two parties agree to meet at a certain time and one party does not show up, the aggrieved party shall wait no longer than 15 minutes. After 15 minutes with no form of communication from the late party it will be assumed said party is deceased and the aggrieved will be free to leave said meeting place and carry on with their day.
