five second rule

This is a very complex law of physics. It states that if food (goldfish, for example) is dropped on the floor, it can be "safely" eaten within five seconds. The five second rule is very fun to apply when in...say...architectural drawing class, usually when Mr. Johnson leaves the room.

When other people are attempting to throw goldfish in your mouth, but miss and hit you smack diddley doo in the face, the five second rule applies as soon as it makes solid contact with the floor.

10 Second Rule

If a female does not enter within 10 seconds of a porno that is showing naked males it is a gay film but if a female enters the film within ten seconds it is not a gay film. AT ALL!

3 second rule

n. A rule in which applies that after you spot a woman you would like to meet or notice a woman is giving you eye contact, you immediately approach her within 3 seconds to prevent any bad thoughts or limiting beliefs (excuses) from holding you back.

I was at a club and I noticed that girl checking me out, I gave her the 3 second rule ..1..2..3, then asked her for a female opinion on something.

3 second rule

The 3 second rule is employed by anal retentives who are not as adventurous or courageous OR hungry enough to utilize the more spunky 5- and 10-second rule. If you are so cautious as to abide by the 3-second rule, maybe you are not cool enough to eat off the floor in the first place.

Adam: I am so hungry because I dropped my meatpie on the floor and it has been 4 seconds and I live by the 3 second rule.

Rebecca and Cristina: No problem. We will eat it-- we even have time to tie our shoelaces first while we are down there. Mmmmmm delicious.

5 second rule

Rule invoked whenever dropped food is picked up and consumed in the presence of others. Time can vary widely depending on the type of food dropped: a sirloin steak at a barbecue may have nine lives, while a street vendor hotdog is declared unfit for consumption even before it touches the ground.

Once I saw it slip from his tongs, I asked the street meat vendor if I could get a new sausage.

three second rule

The rule that says if you drop a piece of food on the floor it is ok to eat if you pick it up in three seconds. Usually the 'three seconds' is more like 10 but it is still the three second rule.
