Get the M.O.T. mug.Can mean either MODERN DAY GOLDEN RULE or MEDICAL DOCTOR/DENTIST GOLDEN RULE. Illustrates the degraded/depraved state of the human psyche in the self-centered dog-eat-dog world of the 21st Century.
Modern Day Golden Rule:
(1) "Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you"... in other words, CLOBBER EVERYONE AROUND YOU INTO A SHAPELESS PULP SO THAT THEY CAN'T "GET" YOU FIRST! (Never mind that those other hapless mortals may not have had any thought/intention whatsoever of harming you... why take the chance???)
(2) "Do unto others IF they have done unto you"... in other words, never do anything nice or helpful for anyone unless you get PAID to do it, or unless THEY DO SOMETHING FOR YOU IN RETURN. Nunna this "charity/volunteer" or "out of the goodness of your heart" bullcrap!
(3) "Do unto others AS they have done unto you"... in other words, TAKE REVENGE! Whup their sorry butts twice as hard as they hurt you (even if they never intentionally meant to offend), or sue the pants off 'em in court!
Medical Doctor/Dentist Golden Rule: "Do unto other SO THAT THEY ARE FORCED to do unto you"... in other words, INTENTIONALLY CAUSE A HEALTH CRISIS WITH YOUR CLIENTS, so that they will then be compelled to pay you hefty fat fees to "cure" them!! Perform needless/destructive surgery, give them medicine that you know they will react allergically to, pick around on their teeth to create new cavities if none are already present, and so on.

I try very hard to just behave myself, keep a low profile, and not get sick if I can possibly help it --- there are too many human jackals out there who practice the M.D. Golden Rule.

Get the M.D. Golden Rule mug.1. (noun): One of the Main Villains in the popular Street Fighter franchise. In America, this is the name of the Dictator that runs the evil coroporation known as Shadaloo. In Japan, this is the name of the Boxer also known as Balrog in America, hence "Mike" Bison, who is based on boxer Mike Tyson.
2. (verb): In a fighting game, namely Street Fighter, this means to go easy on your opponent in the first round of a match, then unleash your full potential for the rest of said match. Coined from when fighting the Dictator as the final boss in Street Fighter II, the A.I. will go easy on the player in the first round, then unleash all Hell upon him/her afterwards. Note that in online play of any fighting game, this is a risky maneuver to try, namely because you don't know the capabilities of your opponents, and that if you succeed in pulling it off, you may make the loser RageQuit and sob all over their now-broken controller because you have raised their hopes of winning, then effectively demolished them.

Get the M. Bison mug.Heavy automatic machine gun that the US military used. It initially had numerous problems with overheating barrels. The gun had to be almost entirely disassembled to switch out barrels. The gun was then refined to include an integrated bipod and heavier barrel that resisted overheating. M60 has since been replaced with the smaller .223 fully automatic SAW (Squad Automatic Rifle)which can be both magazine or belt-fed.

Get the m-60 mug.M.O.B is an acronym made famous by rapper Tupac Shakur which stands for "Money over Bitches." M.O.B is best thought of as being a philosophy which denotes that a man who wants true power must always put money first and women second.
A similar philosophy was also espoused by the fictional gangster "Tony Montana," played by actor Al Pacino in the movie Scar Face, in which he said that in this country(the USA), first you get the money, then the power, and then the women.
From an evolutionary biological perspective, men will compete for females, and females will compete for resources, that is, men that can provide them with security.
Men who choose to chase women first, before they have cemented their wealth and status, waste precious time and energy, because even if they are successful in finding a female in this state, this female will in all likelihood trade up to a better man if she meets a man who is wealthier than her current man, and will leave him.
Men of low status who manage to acquire attractive females through charm and wit are at risk of losing these females when faced with a male of higher status that has more resources and or charm and wit. By focusing on resources, aka money, first, a man increases the likelihood that not only can he attract the most beautiful females, but keep them and pass down his genes.

My buddy asked me if I thought his girl was cheating on him. In response, I asked him the following questions.
Do you have a job?
He responds by saying "no."
Do you live at home with your parents?
He responds by saying "yes."
Do you spend a lot of time with her?
He says "no."
Does she have an ex boyfriend who has more money than you?
He says "yes."
My final conclusion to my friend was that, more than likely, she is cheating on him, and to avoid having this happen in the future, he must follow M.O.B.
