This is a very complex law of physics. It states that if food (goldfish, for example) is dropped on the floor, it can be "safely" eaten within five seconds. The five second rule is very fun to apply when in...say...architectural drawing class, usually when Mr. Johnson leaves the room.
When other people are attempting to throw goldfish in your mouth, but miss and hit you smack diddley doo in the face, the five second rule applies as soon as it makes solid contact with the floor.

Rule number 47 is used in a situations with someone that is not good for you and makes you feel bad about yourself. You waited and tried to tell them but they never listen. There is no way you can keep yourself from this person and you choose to let go even if it hurts. That’s rule number 47

A variation of regular chess wherein whomever uses the white pieces win because they gang up on the black pieces, just like Alabama.
John: Dude, I hate playing chess with you. You only play Alabama rules chess and you never let me be the white pieces.
Dave: My pieces don't take kindly to your pieces 'round here, boy.

A common phrase used by many NCAA Football and basketball coaches that almost always means "smoking marijuana". Since the NCAA doesn't regulate controlled substance use for fear of losing half their great athletes, they allow the individual schools to regulate how much marijuana their athletes smoke. If an individual athlete smokes so much weed that he/she is dumb enough to get caught red-handed smoking or selling, that athlete is suspended for a game in his/her respected sport (Unless Lane Kiffin is the coach in which case it is a mere half game).
Mark: Yo Weezy, I just gotz me some of the best herb, you wanna go VTR with me?

This is a mercy rule used in Madden, NCAA football and basketball games. If either player gains a lead of 21 or more points the game is ended with the player leading declared the winner. The rule was created to allow people with downs the chance to get on the sticks faster. It also prevents embarrassing blow outs.
