Shenanigans rule 

The shenanigans rule states that at any time during the first five minutes of a first online/Tinder date, either party may call "shenanigans!" at which point, both parties proceed to pound their drinks and leave with no hard feelings. The intention of the shenanigans rule is to save everybody time in those awkward situations where it is just never going to happen...

Hey, it was really great to meet you, and this pop-up cider bar is amazing, but I'm gonna go ahead and use the shenanigans rule to save us both some time here...

vulture rule 

To apply the vulture rule means to raid a base in the game Star Trek Fleet Command of one of your own alliance players or from a friendly alliance player. Who is unable to come to the game (Real Life permissions/ shield = share) and will lose the resources nevertheless by enemies.

This rule is applied many times by the alliance VHL of Server 146 (former FEF) and found its origin through the playstyle of NightSlammer.

Ok boys, we can not reach him through discord nor any pings ingame work. We will kick him and vulture rule will be in effect. Enjoy the feast!

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."

The Two Song Rule 

Generally applied at parties to prevent guests from putting on a shit album and everyone having to listen to it in its entirety. Anyone may put songs on and after two songs anyone may change the music. The Credence Clearwater Revival rule is the only exemption to the two song rule. Once a CCR album is started it must be listened to until it is finished or until the person who put it on wants to change it.

Guest 1: "I'm going to put some music on"
Guest 2: "yeah well don't put shit on, and if you do the two song rule applies"

Guest 1: "Hey I'm sick of this CCR I'm putting something else on"
Guest 2: "Like fuck you are, CCR rule applies"
