Rule of the thing

A fun idiom that means "a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on practice rather than theory." It is exactly like "Rule of Thumb" but without the added joke that it's meaning stems from domestic abuse.

The general rule of the thing is to add the ingredients when the water starts to boil

The cone thing

Yeahyeahyeah the cone thing. That's the thing I can fix immediately. You know why it does that, right? No? Eheheheheh...

Hym "Yeahyeah, the cone thing. Should be an easy fix, you know, theoretically... I don't see why the thing I'm thinking wouldn't work... 🤔 Hmmm... Yeah, no, what? Do you not know? Do you want me to tell you?"

Big yellow thing

The meeting spot of all meeting spots in NUI Galway. Located between the Library and Concourse, no one knows exactly what it is or what it’s there for. But without it, first year arts students would forever roam the campus, lost to time.

Student 1: Well lad where’s the handiest spot to meet?

Student 2: The big yellow thing sure

It is sort of like the "that's what she said" jokes. You say it in response to someone saying something that may soun weird out of context. It's only known reference is in the Netflix movie Wine Country.

Person 1:"There's a bear in my bedroom."
Person 2:"Things we say now."
