Usually taking place on Sundays, a 10 minute nap is a discreet way to inform your roommates (or fraternity brothers) that you are going to abuse yourself. This is synonymous with masturbation til orgasm
"Hey Sam, I'm feeing a bit tired after a long night of partying... I think I'll take a quick ten minute nap, but I'll be back in time for the kickoff of the Broncos game."

An urban legend holds that, if a student arrives on time for class, and the teacher does not arrive within ten minutes of the official class start time, then the student is entitled to skip that class for that day without receiving an unexcused absence. Few, if any, schools actually have such a rule; yet the myth endures because of the student appeal of such a rule.
The rule is not necessarily alleged to be ten minutes. The "five minute rule" or the "fifteen minute rule" have also been used in this same sense.

What the fuck, it's 9:08 and Kotter's not here yet! Two more minutes and I'm invoking the ten minute rule.

A ten-minute club is an inside joke or activity; the "club" part does not refer to the people included in the inside joke.
Immature and easily excited children will usually start one of these. For example, say you and a few of your neighbors decide to sneak up on your parents. You all "are in this together", and come up with secret signals and codes. The youngest neighbor becomes excited, from the being with older kids and being included, so starts a "ten-minute club". These younger children will usually bring it up later, long after when it was fun or up-to-date. Note: Also called "five-minute clubs"

The amount of time a DVD supplied by a through-the-post rental service has to prove itself watchable. A way of dealing with the inevitable question; "Who the hell picked that!?" when some discs arrive. A damage limitation excercise. Life is too short for bad movies.
Shyamalan's The Happening dropped through the door in the morning so we thought what the hell. We used the ten minute rule. It didn't make it.
