The Rule of Goats 

The Rule of Goats says that self-awareness or irony doesn't change public perception. If you fuck a goat, even if you say it's for the lulz or to prove a larger point, you're still a goat-fucker.

The saying was coined by criminal defense attorney Ken White of the Popehat Report. It's loosely connected to an Irish Pub joke about an old man who has multiple accomplishments but also once fucked a goat. In the end, nobody recognizes him for his achievements and instead only knows him as the goat-fucker.
Defendant: "I was only trolling when I said all those awful things."
Ken White: "The Rule of Goats applies."

19 minute rule 

A commonly held practice amongst urban males, by which at least one (though more commonly multiple) sexually active partners reside within a 19 minute commute of the male's place of residence, so as to allow sexual activity that takes advantage of early morning erections (that statistically last approximately an average of 20 minutes without stimulation)
Person A: "Not to be too much of a triflin' hoe, but does your girl meet the 19 minute rule?"

Person B: "Why yes, I am always inclined to follow such practical, time-tested, and, if I may be so bold, satisfying rules-of-thumb."

Ten-Fold Rule 

The inherent birthright of every human to seek vengeance at a rate of ten times the original, unprovoked offense upon the original offender(s).
If, for no good reason, a “friend” were to punch you unexpectedly in the stomach, you then would refer to the “Ten-Fold Rule” and be allowed ten free stomach punches upon said “friend.”
