8 Month Rule

The time it takes for two people to feel totally comfortable and start acting like their true selves in a relationship. Often times this is the time in which the pair will find out if they are really compatible or it was all just for fun and they were covering up their issues.
"Did you hear that Joe and Cindy broke up?"

"Yeah, totally the 8 month rule, those two were never gonna work, they were just high on the idea, and sex"

George Lucas's first rule of cinematography

A rule first postulated by known film director George Lucas, stating that, "In any given movie franchise, at least one third of the films will suck." In addition to his own Star Wars prequels, some examples of movie sagas that follow this rule are: the Matrix saga, The Godfather trilogy, The Planet of the Apes, Shrek.

An exception to the rule is Toy Story, while the ultimate application of the rule is the Twilight Saga, wherein all the movies suck, the novels sucked, and yet there's another movie in the making.
Son: Dad, do you want to watch the Phantom Menace?
John: There were no prequels, and I have no son.

Paul: Should we watch Godfather Part II?
Sam: Does George Lucas's first rule of cinematography apply to it?
Paul: On the contrary, it's the best in the series!

3 second rule

The 3 second rule is employed by anal retentives who are not as adventurous or courageous OR hungry enough to utilize the more spunky 5- and 10-second rule. If you are so cautious as to abide by the 3-second rule, maybe you are not cool enough to eat off the floor in the first place.
Adam: I am so hungry because I dropped my meatpie on the floor and it has been 4 seconds and I live by the 3 second rule.

Rebecca and Cristina: No problem. We will eat it-- we even have time to tie our shoelaces first while we are down there. Mmmmmm delicious.
