Five Minute Rule

When talking to someone of the opposite gender over some sort of electronic contraption, such as instant messaging, text messaging, or other alternate forms of communication, the rule states that if said person does not respond to a message in the time of five minutes, that they have either left, or are not paying attention to you. In most cases, this spells doom for relationships, but if your are talking to someone with a short attention span, this may be understandably excused with the necessary punishment of one minute of shunning.

Guy One: Dude, I was talking to that girl but she didn't respond for a few minutes so I used the five minute rule. I dont think she liked it.....

Guy Two: Yea, but its necessary to uphold justice in the social system....

5 minute pisses

This phrase means much the same as coffee penus, but can be used by both males and females (since all females except for perhaps late pre-op transsexuals do not have dicks).

{Jesús}: Cummon Horhay, let's get going!
{Horhay}: I'm afraid I'll have to pass; I've got the 5 minute pisses from having drank half a pot of coffee.

59-Minute Rule

Refers to the practice of letting employees leave work an hour early. The term derives from the military, where supervisors are often not permitted to let their personnel leave early, but ARE permitted to grant their staff breaks, as long as they are less than 1 hour. On special occasions, a supervisor can work around the prohibition on early excusal by giving the staff a 59-minute break at the very end of the day; thus allowing them to leave about an hour early. The "59-Minute Rule" is often put into effect on the Friday before a three-day weekend.

Email to all personnel: The 59-Minute Rule will be in effect this afternoon. Have a safe and happy holiday! -The Boss
