  7. Fin’s one-liners are really the only reason you started watching in the first place.

  9. You refer to said guilty person as the “perp.”
  10. You subconsciously believe that every ADA is a tall, skinny blonde woman with glasses.
  11. You automatically recognize the plot within the first minute of any episode.
  12. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” –You, when Benson asked for a new partner.
  13. Regular old “Law and Order” is like non-alcoholic beer: there’s literally no fucking point.
  14. You wish you could adopt Captain Cragen as your grandpa, because he’s just so goddamn wise.

  31. Watching Elliot balance his career and home life is an emotional investment.
  32. Dr. Warner makes you want to enroll in every science class you can fit into your schedule.
  33. Stabler’s tattoos are the reason you keep living.
