create a rule 

A function in Microsoft Outlook where you can create a rule to move an incoming email into a folder to be read later thereby reducing the amount of urgent email that you have to read on a daily basis.
I got so tired of receiving unwanted emails from Microsoft so I decided to create a rule to automatically move their emails to a folder so that I could read them later if I even cared to.

Joe Z Rule

A rule for raffle prizes, that if an individual already owns an item for raffle, that individual cannot win it. This is usually confirmed by showing proof of non-ownership upon winning the raffle prize.
Pocky broke the Joe Z Rule. He won the raffle for mooncakes, but already had aftermarket wheels on his car.

Red Light Rule 

It is the act of making out with your significant other when stopped at a red light. This you have to do every time. Period.
My girlfriend and I always obey the red light rule. We love it!

Stacy broke up with her boyfriend after he failed to obey the red light rule three times in a row.

The 3M Rule 

A method by which one can evaluate a man for hotness, the rule consists of three parts: 1 man, 1 minute, 1 metre. One man because many men confuse the senses, one minute to allow the surge of hormones to subside, one metre because everyone looks better the further away they are.
I thought he was a total fox but it must've been my beer goggles because when I got up close and used the 3M Rule, I realised that he was a dog!

Marc Shaiman rule 

In musical theatre, regardless of the subject matter of a show, a song is written for a black woman to sing (or more commonly, belt) that is supposed to be a showstopper. Named after famed film and theatrical composer Marc Shaiman
Ben: That black woman's random song in the second act really stopped the show in a good way.

Charles: It was smart of the composers to employ the Marc Shaiman rule.
