Bill Peters's definitions
A test used in 19th middle and upper class Black communities to decide of a black American was sufficiently white enough to warrant inclusion. The idea is that your hair should be as straight as a ruler. Today the practice is not rightly condemned as "colorism" but is not altogether abandoned. See also brown paper bag test
"Don't go swimming or you won't be able to pass the ruler test when you meet your date's parent's tonight."

Get the ruler testmug. (n) A short, catchy statement meeting the short attention requirements of TV news. Sound bites have the annoying habit of being play again and again ad nauseum. In fact, newscasts are increasingly built around sound bites instead of hard news and analysis. And public relations firms earn huge bucks cooking up sound bites for political spin and damage control.
One memorable sound bite (1984 Debate) from Vice Presidential candidate Lloyd Bensten countering Dan Quayle's comparision of himself to President John Kennedy.
Bensten: "I knew Jack Kennedy. He was a friend of mine. You are no Jack Kennedy."

Reference to "gerbilling" is nearly always done with knowledge that the tale is false; it is simply a malicious and hostile disparagement of gay people.
