Rule that is put into effect on certain social occasions that require multiple people to split a bill that could potentially cause complications. Someone must state ahead of time that the Broadhurst rule is "in effect" or else no one can be expected to observe it. When the rule is in effect, everyone attending the event must bring cash so no debit or credit cards have to be thrown onto the table in a massive, confusing pile. If someone forgets to observe the rule, they must pay for the whole bill with their card or leave right away at the beginning of the event.
You and 5 friends are going out to dinner to celebrate someone's birthday, ahead of time you state that the Broadhurst rule is "in effect" everyone except your friend Wayne brings cash to split the bill. Wayne now has to pay for the whole bill.

When travelling the normal rules and conventions around appropriate times to do things are relaxed.
They are relaxed such that no one should be judged for drinking, sleeping, eating etc. at what would be normally strange or judged.
Pint of beer at 7am? No problems.
Breakfast at midnight? You got it.
Shots at brunch? Why not two!?
These are know as Airport Rules.

Referring to the lackadaisical approach of shortstop Roger Dorn from the movie Major League, the phrase is used to show one's lack of desire to initiate the romantic or sexual pursuit of another individual while simultaneously indicating that one would still be receptive if said individual was to him/herself initiate the pursuit.
"Hey, why don't you go after that one chick? She's kinda cute"
"Meh. She's on The Dorn Rule"
"What do you mean?"
"If it comes at me, I'll catch it. But I'm not going to dive for it."
