A regulation invoked by a baseball team to automatically win an on-the-field dispute.
Named after Peck League legend Ben Nadado, the Benny Rule originated when the aforementioned Nadado was involved in a home plate collision. Nadado, the catcher, received the throw and applied the tag. The runner adamantly argued that he was safe. Nadado, understandably, argued otherwise. While representatives from both teams began to discuss the call, Nadado (or Benny, as he was affectionately called) removed his catcher's gear and ran off the playing field. His team followed suit and the 'Out' call stood.
And thus, the Benny Rule was born.

Player A: "What the fuck, why did they just run off the field? He was safe!"
Player B: "I know, we just got Benny Rule'd."

Pulling a Benny-May, When one goes to extreme lengths to do as little work as possible while taking credit for said work while being in a management position

"Hey thanks for unloading the truck on your own legend we were a great team i'll make sure head office knows the hard work we did"

Either extremely delusional or a very successful stage-performer who preys on people's ignorance.
Often proclaimed as a miracle healer, he travels around the globe hosting "crusades" held in stadiums and other large venues. People are "healed" on stage as Mr. Hinn speaks, sings, yells, physically pushes, and spiritually tranfers a holy energy to his believers. Many fall to the ground as BennyBoy supposedly cleanses them of their diseases.
Followers see him as a vessel through which God's power flows. Skeptics point out the lack of substantial evidence for his healings and the fact that anyone who wishes to get on stage is carefully screened by Hinn's cronies. Having a visibly obvious medical issue won't get you anywhere near Hinn. Is that a broken leg? Some gangrene? Get the fuck back to your seat.
Mr. Hinn is never shy about asking for donations. Telling followers to get their credit cards out or sending collection baskets around a second time are not uncommon events.
Many level-headed people consider him a fraud. The use of specially-selected music and lights create a perfect environment for the deep-seated believer to think they've been touched by God. Mass hypnosis, the power of suggestion, religious indoctrination, lack of critical thinking, faith over facts, and the need to find meaning in an otherwise meaningless universe are all at play here.
