20-second rule

Any computer application must respond to input within twenty-seconds or the person using it will think that the software is broken and begin pressing the "Any Key" to elicit a response.

Internet latency is not an excuse for failure to respond; c'mon, even satellite links have less than 20 second latency.

The iPhone has a 20-second rule start-up timer; if an application takes longer than 20 seconds to start up, it is killed by the iPhone OS. Also, the iPhone OS will kill any application that is unresponsive for longer than 20 seconds.

Usually seen on poorly built web pages that rely on over-taxed advertising servers.

Also violated by Windows OS during the boot process where it waits a whole freaking minute for network connections that are never connected to time out.

Second Great Contraction

The worldwide financial crisis of the late 2000s that started with widespread the American subprime mortgage defaults and led to the collapse of many overleveraged Wall Street firms such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. The resultant recession has been deep and both monetary and fiscal policy have taken unprecedented steps in order to curtail its negative impact in efforts to prevent the credit markets from freezing and to stimulate spending.

Everyone keeps comparing the Second Great Contraction to the Great Depression, but only time will tell how similar they truly are.

5-Second Rule

1. When you're having sex with a pregnant woman and the fetus falls out onto the floor, you have 5 seconds to get it back in or else you must eat it.

2. When you trip and fall on the ground and your homie yells "5-second rule" and starts eating your ass.

1: Guy: Uh oh honey, it just popped out! My bad!

Girl: Well I guess you have 5 seconds to put Cleetus back in.

Guy: Oh, right the 5-second rule!

Oops it's too late now.
*Shoves Cleetus down his throat*

Girl: *Cries*

2: Bro 1: Watch out, your dick's untied.

Bro 2: *trips on dick and faceplants*

Bro 3: 5-second rule!

Bro 1 and 3: Start eating Bro 2's ass.

Admiralty Secondary School

People assert dominance on the first day of school to see who would be voted as class chairman.
Mr Chong greets everyone no matter what and is a great teacher.

Admiralty Secondary School is a school I'd go to without regrets.

Cape Hatteras Secondary School

CHSS is a school with only 300 students in it and hosts grades 6-12. Most of the guys here are tall, average, white fuckboys who will send pics of their dick to literally anyone. Here, everyone who is born on this island is related to each other so if you thought Alabama was bad, you haven’t come here yet. The middle schoolers try to act cool and like they are older than they are. The high schoolers are all just annoying as shit. Welcome to Cape Hatteras, where you can smell death before you even walk in. Last thing to remember is it’s a small ass school and if you do anything the whole school will know in a millisecond.

Wow i just got here and i already hate this place more than my old school? I must be at Cape Hatteras Secondary School
