Grandma's Rule

The general guidelines use by parents, grandparents, and teachers to motivate children towards correct behavior. It is the principle that we will do what we don't want (i.e. exercise) in oder to be able to earn what we do want (i.e. eat more at the dinner party.) In the fields of Behavior and Psychology, this is known as the "Premack Principle." This is what happens when you tell your kids they can play video games after they finish their home-work.

1) "Grandma's Rule is that you eat your vegetables if you want dessert."

or,

2) "Grandma's Rule is that you clean your room before you go outside and ride your bike."

Zapple Rule

The rule governing the procedure for backseat vehicular seating arrangements. If three passengers are forced to sit in the backseat of vehicle containing three spots, the Zapple Rule applies. The first two passengers to yell 'zapple' are given a door-side seat. The remaining passenger is given the middle seat.

Jimmy: "Hey Joe, Frank, and Sam. My cousin Tim is riding in the front passenger seat, so you will all have to ride in the backseat of my 1996 Toyota Camry."
Joe: "Zapple!"
Frank: "Zapple!"
Sam: "Oh shucks, the Zapple Rule. I guess I will have to ride in the middle, but luckily, this Camry's backseat is spacious!"

stripper rules

A set of rules or a collection of norms which are unknown to the general public, but are extremely important to insiders. In many cases, the outsider learns the stripper rules as he or she is being ejected, beaten up, or otherwise aggressively educated.

Why'd you get thrown out?
Apparently putting money in her underwear was fine, but there is some rule against putting my whole hand in there...
Stripper rules. Who knew?
