Rule of 9 

Everything written after 9 p.m. local standard time (emails, texts, Facebook messages, etc.) must be approved by an objective party in order to prevent the sender's potentially profound regret the following morning.
Example A
Mike: I still love her, man. That's it, I'm sending her a text right now to tell her.
Aaron: Whoa there. It's 11:30, the Rule of 9 is in effect. Hand over the iPhone.

Example B
Alison: My boss is such a bitch. I can't take it anymore, I'm sending in my resignation right now.
Jill: Rule of 9; back away from the laptop. You'll thank me in the morning.

The Rule of 9 

The Rule of 9 stems from the Famous comedic rule, the rule of three. stating comedy works best in threes ( i.e. the three stooges or when a joke is referred two three times. The Rule of 9 is when the rule of three is brought three times at three separate moments on the same day. The Rule of 9 cam only be referred to as an official rule of nine if

-the rule of three has already been established for the punchline

-the rule is brought up on 3 separate not forced genuinely comedic moments

the rule of 9 is a high guild of meta comedy only underneath the rule of 9 triple (or the rule of 27) which is when the rule of 9 has been brought up 3 times in one night. (this has never been accomplished

rule of 4 and 9 

The rule of 4 and 9 is a general unspoken rule in the United States between drivers and cops. The basics is you don't get in trouble for going 4 or less over the speed limit and usually a warning if going 9 or less. 10 miles invokes fines if caught.

the exception is at the beginning or end of a month when the cops are trying to fill their ticket books
someone else come up with a good example for the rule of 4 and 9

rule of 90 

The rule of 90 is referring to the appropriate number of certain things you'd need if a civil or worldly crisis were to occur and you'd be put into a survival situation.
For instance if a zombie apocalypse were to occur through the rule of 90 you'd need food to last atleast 90 days, a fire arm with atleast 90 rounds of ammunition, water to last 90 days and a map which shows atleast 90 miles squared of the surrounding area.

Again if you survived a plain crash through the rule of 90 you'd need to find supplies to last 90 days, you'd wait by the crash sight for 90 days to be rescued, when setting up a shelter you'd set it no more than 90,000 metres away from the crash sight.

And so on

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
