The 10 minute rule, and in some cases the 5 or even 15 minute rule, is an unwritten rule in schools, colleges and universities.
The rule is used when you have a class/lecture, and the idea is that if the teacher/lecturer is not there in the classroom within the said time period (5, 10 or 15 minutes - depending on what has been decided) then you can assume that they aren't coming and you can therefore leave to do other stuff/go home. This could also possibly be used in the workplace for meetings. (change 'teacher' to 'boss')
N.B. This rule can also be used/changed to deliberately skip classes. E.g. if you know that a teacher will be 10 minutes last, you can switch to using the 5 minute rule and leave before they get there, thereby skipping the class.

Student 2: 10 minute rule?

Get the 90 10 100 Rule mug.The 12 Hour Rule applies to any sporting event where the male athlete(s) jack off exactly 12 hours before their competition. It is proven to raise testosterone levels and enhance performance for any sport.
It is important to not mastrubate too close to your competition, as this will not allow for enough time for your body to restore its testosterone supply. Too early, however, and it will have no effect on your performance.
It is not yet proven if this works on females yet. If anybody would like to test and contribute, be my guest.

Get the 12 Hour Rule mug.A commonly held practice amongst urban males, by which at least one (though more commonly multiple) sexually active partners reside within a 19 minute commute of the male's place of residence, so as to allow sexual activity that takes advantage of early morning erections (that statistically last approximately an average of 20 minutes without stimulation)
Person A: "Not to be too much of a triflin' hoe, but does your girl meet the 19 minute rule?"
Person B: "Why yes, I am always inclined to follow such practical, time-tested, and, if I may be so bold, satisfying rules-of-thumb."
