Top Gear rule 

An important rule of thumb to consider throughout life: when a footballer (that's soccer for Americans) buys a particular object, frequents a particular place or anything like it, it's probably time to move on, lest you become considered tasteless by association.
The Top Gear rule states that ultra-expensive supercars that only footballers can afford are not cool, because footballers are most often tasteless wankers.
