A wholly untrue rule that states that if your food drops to the floor/ground and has contact for less than five seconds, you can simply pick it up and eat it without risk of sickness. This is untrue, of course. Bacteria covers your food upon contact, it doesn't take five seconds for them to attach.
Guy 1:Dude, are you gonna eat that?
Guy 2:Yeah..
Guy 1:But it fell on the floor...
Guy 2:But it wasn't there for five seconds..so according to the Five Second Rule..it's all good.
Guy 2:Yeah..

Get the Sir Kenneth The Secondmug. A second hand emotion is when your friend goes through a heart break or something and it upsets you as well as them
I'm sad because my friend lost her cat.
Isn't that second hand emotion?
Yeah because it didn't happen to me but it still upsets me.

Get the Second hand loadmug. When you have a crush on someone but would never actually date them. You might throw stuff at them talk shit about and to them and "flirt" relentlessly but when the other person begins to show actually feelings you bolt. But secretly you will always have a hard core crush on this person
Anna often through erasers at Mike and called him a tool and a loser but secretly had a second grade crush on him but would never let anyone find out.
