Grimm's Law

The first major sound change law discovered. It described the shift of stops which occured during the change from Proto-Indo-European to Proto-Germanic. It was first postulated by Friedrich von Schegel in 1806, then by Rasmus Christian Rask in 1818, and finally enunciated in its most famous form by Jakob Grimm in 1822. It is composed of three parts:

1. The shift of voiceless stops to voiceless fricatives, thus p > f, t > th, and k > x.
2. The shift of voiced stops to voiceless stops, thus b > p, d > t, and g > k.
3. The deaspiration of the aspirated stops, thus bh > b, dh > d, and gh > g.

Some exceptions to Grimm's Law exist, most notably those stated by Karl Verner in Verner's law.

Thus through Grimm's Law, PIE petro > PG fethra, PIE wodr > PG watr, ghordho > gard, etc.

I am giving my receipe for King Ranch Chicken to my new wife-in-law, but I think I shall leave out the 2 teaspoons of Strychnine.

Lawful Evil

Screwing people over using the rules for personal gain.

The GOP trying to get the market to collapse is Lawful Evil, as is a politician who ruins people's lives to promote their agenda.

Urinal-In-Law

After entering a public restroom with your in-law (father-in-law, brother-in-law, etc.), you locate with uncomfortable decidedness a urnial furthest from one another.

During my wife's family reunion at the local italian restaurant, an unspoken urinal-in-law policy was established in the restroom.

Princess in laws

Refers to 'brother in laws' that were raised and act like 'Princesses". They are not men, they are spoiled little princesses who have tantrums when they don't get their way. They are more feminine than masculine. Sick sense of entitlement.Their Mommy raised them like little princesses.

My friggin' Princess in Laws might break a nail if they had to work

My Princess in Laws are spoiled diva's with a penis, girly men

Edward, my princess in law is such a girly bitch!
