Ista-Pusta-Octopus Rule 

If you bring it up, you have to say it.

When someone brings something up, but they don’t say what it is, then you may utilize the Ista-Pusta-Octopus Rule, in order for them to say it. Both parties must be agreed on to be part of The Rule.
However, if someone part of The Rule refuses to comply when invoked, than for 3 times they cannot be allowed to use the Ista-Pusta-Octopus Rule.

(Which means, they can’t use The Rule again until 3 times someone brings something up but doesn’t fully say it.)

One should always be honest with themselves and with those who abide to The Rule.

This Rule was created by Ms. Dilara in 2013 or 2014, and is used by many individuals.
Person 1: “Omg, I have to tell you what she said! Oh… wait I won’t actually.”

Person 2: “Hey, Ista-Pusta-Octopus Rule, you brought it up so you have to say it.”

Person 1: Oh darn! Okay so, she said…”
