Unlike the term I before E except after C, or when sounding as A like in neighbor and weigh,
i before e... always refers to how chuck norris and/or those similar to chuck norris spell things.

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.

I before e except after c except when your foreign neighbor Keith received eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters. Weird.
I before e except after c except when... this is what they taught you in the third grade math instead of how to pay taxes or something.
