Get the 10 second rule mug.The time that a party really "begins", no matter what scheduled time the party was actually supposed to start previous. This is the time that, without fail, droves of people show up all at once and a party can go from almost non-existent to full-fledged rager.
"Man, this party was so lame for like the past 3 hours, now it's insane! (Looking down at watch, seeing it's around 11 PM) 11 O'Clock Rule, happens every time!"

Woman 1: "Aww how old is he?"
Woman 2: "26 months old"
Woman 1: "Don't say 26 months old it breaking the 12 month rule."

Get the 12 month rule mug.In baseball circles, a term used to send a short texting. The rule signifies the unwillingness of a spectator/diehard fan to depart from a ballgame before its completion, irrespective of how many innings it may take to do so beyond the standard nine innings of the sport.
Origin of the term is not known, nor the reason for the selection of the number 18, except to simply note the length of two regular games. Potentially, extra innings can extend indefinitely past 18, but it's rare.

Get the "18 Innings" Rule mug.phrase- simply means that if you're ever forced to go somewhere in public with your parents (the local mall for example), and you don't want to be seen in this humiliating situation, you walk 10 tiles ahead of your parents, nobody will ever notice that you're with them. The whole thing goes out the window if they scream your name out across the mall, but the entire situation can be avoided completely if you just bring your cell phone and they allow you to leave their watchful eyes.
John: I have to go to the mall with my parents, and for some reason they said I can't leave their sight.
Joe: No sweat man. All you have to do is use the 10 tile rule.

Get the 10 tile rule mug.10 Second Rule is an expansion from the 5 Second Rule due usually for being too drunk! By the time the food has been dropped, your mind figuring out it has been dropped and finally realising you DO have to bend down retrieve the food it's still fine to just give it a rub off and continue to eat it. (If you are drunk, so are germs, therefore it's going to take them longer to get to the food.)
Drunk Dude 1: *Been drinking all night, drops fat juicy chip from the chippy on the sick ass ground, watches it fall, looks upset* "Damn! Oh well, 10 second rule" *Bends down, picks it up and eats it*
Drunk Dude 2: *Agrees with the 10 second rule*

Get the 10 Second Rule mug.When you see a customer within 10 feet of you, you ask them if they need assistance. This applies to employees at retail stores like Wal*mart.
Bob (a Walmart associate) is stocking shelves in the chemical department, and he notices a customer about 6 feet away looking at the air-fresheners. Bob uses the "10 foot rule": "How are you today sir? I notice you're looking at the air-fresheners today." Customer: "Yes sir. I see you have new Glade candles scents for the fall season." Bob: "Why yes we do. We have 4 new scents to choose from, and we also have them in the spray forms, as well as the plug-in oil refills." The associate used the 10 foot rule very well resulting in a happy customer who will most likely continue to shop there time and time again.
