Height rule

The unspoken law of yaoi manga and sometimes slash fiction, which designates the taller character in the pairing as the seme/top. Occasionally subverted by authors, justified by "lower slays higher".
"What is this mangaka doing?! Is she really trying to tell us that scrawny piece of shit could top HIM? She's totally disregarded the Height Rule!"

"Man, I'm tired of reading all this fanfiction where Sam Winchester tops."
"What do you expect? Height rule."

The standard against which optimal breast size is gauged in seeking a suitable mate, etc.

The optimal breast size is equal to the amount that can be fit in one's hand; any less is not enough and any more is excessive, wasteful, and unnecessary.

The curve follows a sharp Gaussian/Cauchy–Lorentz function and distribution.

f (x; 0,1) = 1 / π (1 + π^2)

This is also known as the Breast-Volarity curve.
Person 1: Wow, she has exquisite breasts.

Person 2: Eh, they're too large.

Person 1: Nonsense!

Person 2: Don't forget the Hand Rule.
Person 1: Ahhh, good call.
