extendable second rule

Similar to 3 second rule, 5 second rule, 10 second rule

An (as of yet) unwritten rule that any food dropped on the floor may be picked up and eaten as long the person who dropped it states the number of seconds it has been on the floor and adds 'rule' on the end.

This is ever extendable for the length of time the food has been on the floor so can be used in any situation, especially if the dropped item is not easily accessible.

It is commonplace to wipe off some of the dust etc. before proceeding to eat
Person 1: Oh no I dropped my sweet under the table!
Person 2: No worries 25 second rule
Person 1: I thought that was just 3 seconds
Person 2: no it's the extendable second rule

*person 1 bends under table, retrieves sweet and eats it*

second wave veganism

New, improved veganism, that is more about saying yes to things instead of being all negative and saying no. Some of these things can be, for example, meat.
Jill: You're not a vegan.
Jane: I'm new wave vegan, it's a second wave veganism.
Jane: Veganism for me is about saying yes to things... even meat.
Susan: Well, let's hope it doesn't get out of hand... we don't want it to develop into a vegan spank inferno.
Jane: If you like animals, you'll love lamb!

5 second rule

A highly scientific finding that says that germs need at least five seconds to jump on food that falls on the floor, enabling the person who dropped said food to pick it up and safely consume it, as long as they do so within five seconds of dropping it.
"Hey dude, that cookie's still OK to eat, the five second rule's in effect."

3-second rules

The rules made by poor persons. It means when you're temptin' to eat the food you've dropped on the floor, just in 3 seconds is okay. But as you know, it is proved that bacterias gather to that food just in 0.3 second quick.
My friend believed the 3-second rules and once ate the gummybear on the floor. He rekt out.
