A Dalby Tom is when a friend says they are going to come visit and assures you they are on their way. But really they aren’t on the way and don’t intend on showing up.
Hey, wasn’t your friend supposed to be here by now? Looks like they’ve pulled a Dalby Tom again.

The concept that you should watch others and observe their outcomes to determine if you should do the same thing they did. This idea derived from penguins in the Antarctic who stand on the edge of an iceberg watching other penguins jump into the water, if the penguin who jumped into the water doesn’t get eaten by a predator then the other penguins know it is safe to jump in.
I don’t smoke meth because of Jackson Dalby’s Penguin Principle.
