It is a term for a day of adjustment.It is a rule where when you change something, it takes one day to adjust. Like when you buy a new tube of toothpaste and use it for the first time you find it awful but the next time you totally forget about it. Or when you drive on the other side of the road in another country , it takes one day to adjust to the change.
"Oh, it's like the toothpaste rule"
"It's exactly like the toothpaste rule , I'm gonna call of the toothpaste rule "
"No,no Burnie, it's the toothpaste rule. Anything that takes a day now — toothpaste rule."
"I'll see you next toothpaste rule "
"It's exactly like the toothpaste rule , I'm gonna call of the toothpaste rule "
"No,no Burnie, it's the toothpaste rule. Anything that takes a day now — toothpaste rule."

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.

The Shakespeare Rule is a writing technique in which, much like the structure of any Shakespearean soliloquy, you summarise the general meaning of the paragraph in the last few lines.

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."

very conservative way of playing madden, punting on all 4th downs. Kicking field goals if within 20 yards. Many squib kicks towards the end of the game or half. Taking QB Knee to run the clock out. Never throwing the ball into traffic, constantly throwing it out of bounds. Slides with the player who is running with the ball to avoid risk of fumble. All in all, just playing the game in a way that makes you an absolute fucko.
Dude, stop playing with pasic rules
