Similar to rule 34. If it exists, there's a loli version of it. This doesn't change their age, just their appearance.

my house my rules

Every narcissistic parent's favorite argument, only rivaled by "if you don't like it, move out". Expect to be told that even if you help pay bills/rent/mortgage/utilities.

Kid: "Hey, could you please turn the music down? It's 3am, and I have college classes in the morning"
Parent: "My house my rules! You sleep on your own time!"

Austin Work Rule

Fouling around while in a committed relationship is only allowed as long as it is with coworkers. This is considered a “team building” function and helps create trust, respect, and loyalty within a company.

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.
