Rule of 3

The Latin phrase “omne trium perfectum” means that every set of three is complete. A Creative Pragmatist will apply this to outfit composition; when you have selected three key items, the destination has been reached.

Person 1: I think i’m missing something, my outfit doesn’t feel complete.

Person 2: You’re not thinking of the Rule of 3, you need to have 3 components in an outfit and you only have 2. Try a pop of color for your shoe!

no spoiler rule

An unwritten rule which involves people telling others NOT to spoil the events which would go on in either a movie, TV show, video game or anything else that entertains a person. It soon became really popular in social media through memes, posts, videos & etc.

It was a no spoiler rule which prompted my refusal to watch"Avengers: Endgame" simply because I feared people would cause problems if I was to break it.

Prison City Rules

In small press publishing that's code:

No erotic content, but other than that NO HOLDS BARRED

The Ethereal Gazette was noted for it's STRICT house rules rivaling the mentality of the Duggar household but aspects that differ as he defined to another who was doing anthologies, another editor knew the rules he coined -- other publishing imprints know this as Prison City Rules. No erotic content but no holds barred. Rule out sexual content but time the swearing, go for subject matter that's ideologically sensitive and able to address social issues when pulling this off. The Issue Five roster embodied the Prison City Rules approach.

Rule 901

A new rule of the internet that I'm proposing.
If a piece of fan work gets copyright claimed by the company who made the source material, then it's canon. An example of this would be if Nintendo claimed someone's fanfiction. No matter how inappropriate, lewd, or downright fucked up that shit is, it happened.

Person 1: "How have none of the companies parodied in the Racist Mario video claimed it yet?"
Person 2: "Rule 901. if they were to claim it, it would be canon to that universe."
