An exlamation of extreme frustration or rage, usually used when the user has trouble coming up with a word that adequately describes said frustration or rage.
This expletive first appeared in the film "A Christmas Story", when, upon discovering that the plastic leg-lamp he won at the bowling alley had been broken, Ralphie's father shouts "Nadafinga!" after failing to find a word that would adequately express his immense frustration.

The term was coined by Gaming Steve Message Board member Logan Felipe in a thread discussing evolution*. The law is named after "the State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes", a court case that provides a well documented, real world example of the law in action. The law's creation was also partially inspired by Godwin's Law.

The Scopes Law states: "When discussing evolution in the presence of a creationist, the discussion always becomes a religious debate".
