20/80 rule 

The rule guys refer to when they think about cheating on their wives/girlfriends.

Their wife/girlfriend is the 80%: she cooks, cleans, gives him all her loving, and has decent sex. But it's never 100%.

The girl he wants to cheat on her with is the 20%: she's very pretty, has a great body, and is perfect at sex. However, she's a slob/druggie/junky/alchy.

(Seen in Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married?")
Bill: "I don't know, man. My wife's just not cutting it in the sex department, ya know?"
Joe: "20/80 rule, dude... think about it..."

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
