Rule of the thing

A fun idiom that means "a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on practice rather than theory." It is exactly like "Rule of Thumb" but without the added joke that it's meaning stems from domestic abuse.

The general rule of the thing is to add the ingredients when the water starts to boil

Patton Rule

The unspoken rule amongst guys that when needed your wingman will jump on the grenade and take one for the team.

Guy one: c’mon man, I know she’s fat but her friend is hot and she’s into me.

Guy two: are you invoking the Patton Rule?
Guy one: if you take that grenade I’ll owe you big time.

Prison rules

The philosophy that if you don’t fight, people will just keep fucking with you; An environment, such as a school or work place, where there is little to no supervision, rules aren’t regularly enforced, and/or the only way you get people to leave you alone is by standing up for yourself.

Around here, it’s prison rules.
