protocall

Da generally-mandated/accepted procedure for using da phone in a particular locale.
Da protocall in most jurisdictions is usually fairly simple, straightforward, and obvious --- basically, (1) ask permission before using a phone dat is not yours (like if you're at a friend's house or place of business), (2) "keep it down" during phone conversations, particularly if there are others present in da general vicinity, (3) don't "tie up da lines" for longer than necessary, (4) only use said phone for fairly-necessary and/or of-time-value calls; save non-important and non-urgent calls for when you can use your own phone, and (5) be sure to offer to pay for any toll-calls dat you make on someone else's line.

International Dibs Protocol

The International Dibs Protocol (IDP) main goal is to prevent conflict between friends and family due to near-equal claims to an object of value. Nearly every conflict in history has been because two people want one thing.

Using the IDP, when 2 people want the same thing, who ever calls “dibs” first get it. If one person is not finished pronouncing the “s” sound before another starts pronouncing the “d” sound, it is considered a tie.

If a tie occurs, everyone who wanted that item must count aloud from 1 to 10. Even if 2 people called dibs, if a third person counts to ten first, the third person wins, even though the third person didn’t call dibs in the first place.

1. If two people arrive at ten at the same time, that is, one person says the “t” sound before the first person is finished the “n” sound, it is considered a tie. Only the people who tied are eligible for the next tiebreaker. A person that finished a whole “ten” behind the other 2 will not advance.

2. If the 2 people who tied in the last round are of legal drinking age, whoever bought the last round of alcoholic beverages in a store or bar wins.

3. If a tie still occurs, whoever is taller wins. If there is not third person to judge, or if height is a difference of 1 cm or less, then the next tiebreaker shall be implemented.

4. Rock-Paper-Scissors will be played, best 2 out of 3 to prevent winning by dumb luck.

"You have to say 'dibs'. It's called the international dibs protocol"
(Searches Google) "Darn." (Hands over cookie)

hammer-down protocol

Is a fictional, scorched earth code-name where in the U.S. military decides to cut it's losses and destroys, through carpet bombing, the U.S.'s own territories and/or cities that are deemed lost to enemy forces. The term was first used in the movie Cloverfield, followed by the video-game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
In COD:MW2 the Hammer-Down Protocol is a scorched earth policy through indiscriminant, large scale carpet bombing of the city of D.C. do to the heavy number of Russians in the area.

It is very similar in application and purpose in Cloverfield. However, it is used for the reason of an all-or-nothing attempt to destroy the monster, as well as the small parasites that had no-doubt flooded Manhattan.
