I told my 4u class that the technique where, when you are permuting things and need to things (say X and Y) to be consecutive you treat them as one element, as the "fat people on aeroplanes principle". Quite a few people ended up believing it was the name of an actual theorem.I did not know such a thing existed. I love these little quirky names for various theorems such as the 'Hairy Ball Theorem' in Algebraic Topology.
