I think we can rule out a…

I think we can rule out a… — an endlessly productive word formula designed to explain the gravity of a situation through a poetically oppositional comparison.

How to use “ I think we can rule out a…” as a word formula:

1) Undercover surveillance team observing a cross burning at a Neo-Nazi rally on the February 24 and 25th 2023 day of Hatred:

Well, I guess we can rule out this as being a Bar Mitzvah.

2) A hotel worker in New Orleans brings towels to the orgy room at a swingers convention:

Well, I think we can rule out finding Gandhi in that room.

3) A pork barbecue food truck vendor dives by a park were a vegan gathering of THE RAINBOW TRIBE is being held:

I think we can rule out finding anyone in that park who wants a good carne asada.

Jungle Ruler

A man who is capable of consuming copious amounts of alcohol and illicit substances for multiple days in a row, while still being an FTL (full time legend). The name hails from the famous race horse 'Jungle Ruler' who became addicted to crystal meth and was often scratched after putting half his head in a bag of smack before a race. A true 'Jungle Ruler' is a real stayer, and his actions defy belief being able to stay alive after 4/5 days on a drug fueled bender. Long live the 'Jungle Ruler'

1st Person: Did you see that Jungle Ruler Josh at Tramp last night?

2nd Person: Yeh i did, his been there for 3 weeks

1st Person: What a fucking Jungle Ruler, YOLO!!

Rule number 5

“Show no love. Love will get you killed.”

Rule number 5 is When you love someone so much and they break your heart. Typically when a guy will give a girl everything and she cheats or falls out of love.

Friend: What got you into the gym bro? What’s your motivation?

Me: “I broke Rule Number 5.”
