Principle of Least Interest

In a two-party relationship, the party exhibiting the least interest in the relationship holds the most power. This is due to the (albeit often false) presumption that relationships are an efficient economy, and that one party would only be more interested if the other is inherently more valuable.

Johnny wanted to send Daphne flowers after their first date, but since he asked her out in the first place, the Principle of Least Interest dictates he will be more likely to score with Daphne in the long run by waiting for her to make the next move.

schmword

Pieces of two or more words that have been schmushed together to form a single word representing the combined meaning of all orginal words.

Michael Scott seems to be a fan of schmwords like gaysian (a gay Asian),Jegaysian (a Jewish gay Asian), and blasian (someone with one black parent and one Asian parent). Please note, however, that a gaysian is NOT someone with one Asian parent and one gay parent.
