FedEx Rule

To have sex with someone else after recently breaking up with your ex. The faster you move on, the faster you get over them. Like FedEx (fast shipping/movement, fast delivery).
As Jenna was heartbroken over her recent break-up, she applied the FedEx Rule to herself and was over her ex in a week.

the boosh rule

Invoking "The boosh rule" is a request to get back on task.

It originated during Run Amok recording sessions due to the natural tendency of the band and the producer to both get stuck talking about and quoting The Mighty Boosh for hours on end while they were supposed to be recording.

'The Boosh Rule' initially was a rule that was set to prevent this - no talking about The Mighty Boosh until you were finished tracking for the day.

In the time that has passed it has since spread and come to refer to any procrastination or lack of attention to the immediate task.
Meeting participant 1: So what's next on the agenda? I can't find it in the notes .. I wish there was a program guide for this ridiculous meeting.
Meeting participant 2: Oh hey did you hear that there's a new program guide service starting up?
Meeting participant 1: Cool, no I didn't - when does it go online?
Meeting participant 2: It should be starting soon, pretty cheap I hear.
Meeting participant 1: Neat, forward me the URL.
Meeting participant 3: Hey! You two! The Boosh Rule.

The Rule of Backtracking

The Rule of Backtracking mainly applies to the game Dead Space, where the player does a lot of backtracking throughout the levels. Basically, if you leave an area where you've killed monsters and then come back, those monsters will have mysteriously respawned. It's handy for players to know, especially on Impossible Mode, that just because you have cleared out an area does not mean that it's totally safe for the rest of the game.
Pedro: What the heck is this crap? Man, I swore I cleaned out this area, and now there are more monsters! I don't have any med packs left!
Napoleon: Dude, the Rule of Backtracking, man.
*player is mauled to death by a Necromorph*
Napoleon: Told you.
