A rule created by dudes for dudes, stating that he who attempts to hide something (mostly in regards to a female) they deserve any and all clowning until they own up to what they are doing. The rule is contingent on when somebody is hiding something they know is wrong, but everyone around them knows the truth. Once a dude owns up to what he is doing, and is both honest with himself and others, the clown rule becomes null and void because of how inherently not funny it is to clown on somebody who is open and honest. Unless you squat on the toilet with your feet on the seat, in which case - don't ever tell your bros something like that. Keep that to yourself. No amount of honesty can prevent the absolute clowning you will endure.
Guy 1:"Dude, George told us that all he does is hang out with you and play video games. He didn't even mention egg."
Guy 2:"Bro what?? I never see that kid. He is ALWAYS with egg."
Guy 1:"Maeby literally told me the other day that he doesn't ever see you, and he just went and told everyone that all he does is hang out with the dudes, no mention of egg whatsoever."
Guy 2:"Holy shit man. I think it's time to enact The Clown Rule."
Guy 1:"Meh, I guess so. I never thought we would ever have to on George, but he has given us no choice. He is Pussy Whipped beyond measure."

Kevin clearly lied to everyone's faces, thus Gru immediately smote him where he stood. Kevin didn't follow the pickle rule, even though the rule was clear.

"You can be the rule keeper. Make sure no one cheats!"
"Are you allowed to do that in this game?"
"I don't know, ask the rule keeper."

These are usually the rules followed in ones house that a particular game is being played in. These rules will always change from house to house and are sure to always cause a 10 minute argument/debate over them. These rules are known to be made up during the actual game.
For example: if you are playing pool in one person's house, his "house rules" might be that whoever makes the 8 On The Break wins automatically whereas the house rules of another person's house might be whoever makes the 8 On The Break loses automatically.
