72-pin connector 

The main point of failure on the original version of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES-001). The pins wear out and bend over time because of bad design and will almost certainly need replaced on any NES-001 console. A worn 72-pin connector will often result in major glitches, failure to read game cartridges, and indirectly, the flashing red light issue.

I can't get Super Mario Bros. 3 to load! Must be the 72-pin connector.

72 virgins and a river of wine 

"72 virgins and a river of wine" is a phrase based off of an unverified hadith in Islam. It refers to some description of heaven, which *may* have "72" maiden women and a river of alcohol-free wine.

However, this hadith is unverified and very shaky. Some scholars say it might even be fabricated, as more trustable sources say 2 maiden women, not 72.

Family guy said there would be 72 virgins and a river of wine, but really there is only 2 maiden women and a river of water.

72 virgins 

72 virgins refers to an unverified hadith in Islam that says believers in heaven may receive 72 maiden women. However this hadith is unverified and possibly fabricated, as authentic hadith points more to 2 maiden women, not 72. This trope has been popularized in media and satire.

72 virgins? Really? Sounds made up dude! I think it's more like 2 maiden women.

It has a better ring from 73-9.

73-9 Is nice, but 72-10 has a better ring to it.

72 Hour Rule 

The 72 hour rule is in reference to the amount of time you are supposed to wait to contact a girl, after you have had coitus.
The purpose of the 72 hour rule is to have the girl lose feelings after you muck her barn so you don't have to have any awkward conversations and you wont directly have to be a dick to her.
The 72 hour rule was first implemented by Jesus Christ, who waited approximately 72 hours to rise from the grave after everyone though he had been killed.

-48 hours is not near long enough as the girl you fucked might still be holding out hope.
-96 hours is too long as what you are doing becomes too obvious and she doesn't need to know what you are doing

On the first day she will still have strong feeling
On the second day she will be sad you ghosted her
On the third day she will just be pissed off

This is why we use the 72 Hour rule.

Guy1: Bro, did you fuck her last night?
Guy2: Yah I think i’m gonna text her and tell her I don't want anything serious, but thats gonna be hella awkward
Guy1: Bro, Just do what my dawg Jesus did and use the 72 Hour Rule!
Guy2: Thats great advice! Thanks!
