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.

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

Things

When someone doesn't put an apostrophe on "thing's" to make it a contraction of "Thing" and "is", so they type the plural version of "thing", possibly confusing other people in the process.
Person 1: Dude, that things going to the moon!

Person 2: It's one thing.

Person1:Yeah, I know.

Person 2: God damn it, you're supposed to say "thing's", not "things", that's just confusing.
