The amount of time a DVD supplied by a through-the-post rental service has to prove itself watchable. A way of dealing with the inevitable question; "Who the hell picked that!?" when some discs arrive. A damage limitation excercise. Life is too short for bad movies.
Shyamalan's The Happening dropped through the door in the morning so we thought what the hell. We used the ten minute rule. It didn't make it.

Get the Give me a minutemug. A common texting agreement between two or more acquaintances that after a 5 minute period with no reply, you must accept the fact that the person you are trying to reach does not want to talk to you. After this 5 minute period, you may not re-send your message, send a new one, call, or apologize for interrupting their meeting. This agreement is usually made official by means of contract, or simply by not disagreeing when the rule is suggested.
Man 1: Hey man 2, lets go to the club man!
Man 2: Ahh man I can't, im waiting for Katie to reply.
Man 3: Dammit Man 2, you've been waiting for Katie to reply for at least 6 minutes now. 5 minute rule dude.

Get the new york minutemug. (n.) Bros per minute or BPM is a very efficient way of measuring the intensity of an argument. As one can tell, it is the amount of uses of the word bro for every minute of an argument. 1-2 BPM shows that an argument may be starting. 3-4 BPM shows that an argument has already started, while 5+ BPM is a intense argument.
Job: "Hey, bro"
Dane: "What did you say bro?"
J: "You heard me, bro!"
D: "Bro! Shut up, bro! You best not be starting something, bro!"
Bystander: "Man that is an intense argument... The Bros Per Minute will soon be over 9000!!"
