An unwritten law dictating that if a food or other consumable item is dropped onto the floor, it may be picked up up and eaten within five seconds. The reasoning behind this is that dirt and germs take six seconds to transfer from one surface to another.
"Oops, dropped my popsicle. Five second rule!"

Get the 5 second rulemug. A rule made to keep people (ladies) from stealing your cowboy hat. If you wear a cowboy'hat, you have to ride the cowboy!
Well seeing as how you don't made off with my hat, your truck or mine in accordance with the cowboy hat rule.
Excuse me pretty lady, I assume since you're wearing my hat, you're ready to obey the cowboy hat rule!

So named for Dan Samiljan, who as a piece of web-based performance art changed his listed birthday to the current date for 43 days in a row on facebook, before facebook administrators caught on and implemented restrictions requiring him and anyone else from that point on to explain why they want to change their birthday.

"After my girlfriend threw a flipped her wig at me for posting the wrong anniversary date, I tried to go back and change it. Apparently the site has got some kind of Dan Samiljan rule though, and it wouldn't let me change it.
