First Rule of Peacocking

The first rule of peacocking is : don't tell the audience what it already knows.

This 'rule' refers to a maxim in social science literature that a person/thing trying to show status should not be repetitive / redundant and give the audience what they already know would happen.

John just violated the First Rule of Peacocking when giving his acceptance speech! he acted like no one knew why they were all there when he told them again about his achievements.

Rule of thumb

An approximate way of doing something based on presumptions rather than fact. Contrary to popular belief, the idea the law once allowed a husband to beat his wife as long as the device was no thicker than his thumb is false, as such assaults were outlawed for centuries in common law, although the ban wasn't generally codified in written law until the 1980s.

A driver kept going 5 mph over the speed limit, thinking the police had a rule of thumb that it was a waste of time to give out a ticket to anyone going anything lower than that.
