Doubting Dragon

A phenomenon where someone believes they haven't taken a hit, because the draw was so smooth; resulting in the smoker performing the Doubting Dragon, where smoke billows from their nostrils and mouth whilst voicing these concerns.

*Takes massive hit*
Smoker: "Oh no, I didn't get anything!? Did it work??"
*Meanwhile, smoke is billowing out of their nostrils and mouth like a Doubting Dragon *

Detriment of the Doubt

1) The opposite of "benefit of the doubt,"

Instead of someone assuming you have the best intentions and are a good person, or that you meant well, they instead assume the opposite; that is to say, they assume you meant them harm, you have bad intentions, are a bad person, and so on.

2) The lack of offering the benefit of the doubt.

3) assuming someone is guilty before proven innocent, instead of the other way around.

Ashley gave Johnny the detriment of the doubt when she assumed that he was an obsessed jerk rather than thinking that there was a misunderstanding on both sides due to both of their actions, which led him to believe he had hurt her and that she was better off without him, and led her to believe that he was showing his true colors after several years of good friendship. They were both wrong, and lost their friendship due to not communicating.
