A corollary to Godwin's Law, Giuliani's Law states that the longer you talk to a politician or law enforcement officer (or various neo-LEO types like TSA agents, mall cops, etc), the likelihood that 9/11 will be mentioned approaches 1
You can't take a picture of that building/monument/ATM. That's what the terrorists did before 9/11.
So, even though this had nothing to do with that, you've somehow invoked 9/11 in this discussion. Isn't this an example of Giuliani's Law?

The relation that results from your sister marrying a meathead. AKA: bromo, the inconvenient meeting of brother-in-law and homo.
"My brother by law is such a bromo, he is in a Wham! "tribute" band, drives a mid 80s Dodge Charger, and has been to see Mamma Mia in the theater --- three times."
"What a choad that guy is."

Together, the Scout Oath and Law form the general Code of Conduct for Boy Scouts. As taken from the Boy Scout Handbook, 11th edition, the Scout Law is as follows:
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Whenever you hear something negative about the BSA, you are hearing about people who choose to ignore the Scout Law. The BSA is not an organization of bigots and liers. Make no mistake, these are NOT real scouts, but impostors and assholes who sully the name. I am proud to be a scout. If everyone in the world followed the Oath and Law, the world would be a wonderful place.

I have seen it quoted in this manner: "If there are two or more ways to do something and one of those results in a catastrophe, then someone will do it that way." It is more a psychological law than a superstition then.

A good friend of a good friend. Even if you tend to hang out in the same circles often, this person would only qualify as more of an acquaintance.
Not someone you would desire to hang out with alone. Either because you only talk to the person large group settings and never really directly bonded, or because it's someone with whom you share nothing in common (other than a similar friend) and it would be awkward and uncomfortable to spend time alone together.
Most often it is a significant other's best friend.
"Nah, I don't see Megan anymore ever since Dave moved away. She was only a friend-in-law anyway."
