Definition

A humorous malapropism where someone confuses 'Sharia Law' with 'Shakira Law,' typically used ironically to mock political figures or news coverage that gets basic terminology hilariously wrong. It's the gift that keeps on giving to people who enjoy a good homophone-based roast.

Example Usage

When the politician mispronounced it on live TV, Twitter spent all day joking about Shakira Law and 'hips don't lie' legislation.
