I before e except after c except when your foreign neighbor Keith received eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters. Weird.

In the computer technolgy industry in the US, specifically, refering to anyone who is not an Indian National (see definition of 'dot').
"John, who works for Acme Engineering, is their null dot exception." - the implication here, being that Acme Engineering is populated predominantly by Indians (dots, not woowoo).

Something like the Teletubbies, as it was created by someone high on pot at the time. It barely even works. In terms of the words that have those kinds of letters, most of them break the rule, so it is pointless. Teams have lost the Spelling Bee just because they trusted the devil of spelling, I before E except after C. Even English teachers think that this is a shitty technique.
Teacher: I before E except after C.
Me: That's useless, there are so many exceptions.
Teacher: Detention.
Me: That's useless, there are so many exceptions.
Teacher: Detention.

A patriotism-based political belief that states that the United States of America is unique or exceptional when compared with the historical development of other countries, and is thus considered better than other countries regardless of context.
More extreme cases of this have led to white-washing of historical events, propaganda and violation of international law under the pretense that "it's not a crime when America does it."

America's greatness, America's exceptional greatness, is not based on that fact that we are the most powerful, most prosperous - and most generous - nation on earth. Rather, those things are the result of American Exceptionalism.
