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.

Get the Rule 124092mug. 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?

Get the stripper rulesmug. 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!"
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!"

Get the Rule 2mug. "Anything higher than a 93 is inefficient."
Applies to the grading system where a 93% is for the purposes of GPA the equivalent of a 100%. Any grade higher than a 93% earns the same 'A' as a 93%, so the work done in getting, for example, a 95% was unnecessary. Traditionally used by students when they have a good grade and do not feel like doing their homework.
Coined at Madison-Grant High School at the end of the year 2012 by a student after days of meditation.

Michael's Mom: Have you finished your Spanish homework yet?
Michael: No
Michael's Mom: Then what makes you think you should be playing video games on a school night?
Michael: The 93 Rule. I have a 97% and there aren't enough points in the rest of the semester for me to not get an A.
Michael's Mom: I see. Carry on.
