hammer-down protocol

Is a fictional, scorched earth code-name where in the U.S. military decides to cut it's losses and destroys, through carpet bombing, the U.S.'s own territories and/or cities that are deemed lost to enemy forces. The term was first used in the movie Cloverfield, followed by the video-game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
In COD:MW2 the Hammer-Down Protocol is a scorched earth policy through indiscriminant, large scale carpet bombing of the city of D.C. do to the heavy number of Russians in the area.

It is very similar in application and purpose in Cloverfield. However, it is used for the reason of an all-or-nothing attempt to destroy the monster, as well as the small parasites that had no-doubt flooded Manhattan.

International Dibs Protocol

PART 2

The IDP can only be used when multiple people have near-equal claim to something. One person can not call dibs on something another person clearly owns, and if he does, dibs has no effect. If the object in question was given from one person to another, a third person may not call dibs on said object. Even if it was not made explicitly clear that the object in question was meant for a specific person, the person who provided the object may still clarify and dibs will be nullified.

If one person has obviously greater claim to the object in question, dibs will have no effect. However, dibs shall be upheld if the claim is (1) not major and can't be proven or (2) very minor, even if proof is provided. If an agreement is reached that both people have equal claim to the object, the two people will start at step 2.

If an agreement can not be reached, the said object will be be split equally, destroyed, left behind, sold and the money split evenly, or given to a third person, depending on what the valued object is.

SHOTGUN AMENDMENT
The Shotgun Amendment is a specific form of dibs, namely, the shotgun seat of a vehicle. Slightly different rules apply to shotgun.

The owner of the vehicle gets final say in who rides shotgun.

Also, shotgun call only be called when some piece of the vehicle can be seen from where shotgun is called. Exhaust, icicles hanging off of the vehicle, and reflections do not count as a “piece of the vehicle.”
The International Dibs Protocol takes precedent over all other laws. Not really.

The Pavarotti Protocol

A fanfiction written by LiveJournal user canniblaine. It's based around the FOX comedy/musical series, Glee, in which the character Blaine Anderson shoves a dead bird corpse up the ass of his boyfriend, Kurt Hummel.
I wish I was kidding.
The Pavarotti Protocol:

“Please kill me,” says Kurt, nails digging into the hardwood surface of the table he's bent over. “Please kill me now.”

Blaine doesn't think Kurt is actually suicidal, so it's okay. The other Warblers watch on with a disinterested air, standing in a circle around the scene. Blaine decides that Kurt's lamentations are spurred from the heat of the moment and the knowledge of what's about to come to him, so it's perfectly fine.

Protopunk

Retrospective term to describe music that influenced what would be coined as punk rock. It tended to be somewhat more aggressive than its contemporaries and often had anti-authoritarian themes.Such music included, The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, bands on the Nuggets compilation, The Sonics, The Seeds, The Monks, Patti Smith, The Dictators, New York Dolls, MC5, Richard Hell & the Voidoids, Neu!, etc. Not all influences of punk rock bands can be called protopunk. For example, Crass was influenced by experimentalist compser, John Cage, but nobody would call him a protopunk artist.
Iggy Pop got his start in a protopunk band called The Stooges.
