The racist door is a figurative/metaphorical door that is opened when somebody makes a racist comment. This either allows for further racist comments or it allows for the retort: "You are a racist" or words to that effect, thereby closing the racist door.

Skivitis (pronounced sky-vight-is) is a temporary illness, characterised by severe lack of desire to go to school. Often, the student suffering from Skivitis will avoid school (or 'skive') even during school hours. This illness can be cured by a phone call from the school to the student's parents or alternatively by calling the police or student welfare officer.

The 10 minute rule, and in some cases the 5 or even 15 minute rule, is an unwritten rule in schools, colleges and universities.
The rule is used when you have a class/lecture, and the idea is that if the teacher/lecturer is not there in the classroom within the said time period (5, 10 or 15 minutes - depending on what has been decided) then you can assume that they aren't coming and you can therefore leave to do other stuff/go home. This could also possibly be used in the workplace for meetings. (change 'teacher' to 'boss')
N.B. This rule can also be used/changed to deliberately skip classes. E.g. if you know that a teacher will be 10 minutes last, you can switch to using the 5 minute rule and leave before they get there, thereby skipping the class.

Knighthood - the status of being a knight
Singlehood - the status of being single
Some can't wait to escape singlehood, some don't mind it or even revel in it. When you get a girl/boyfriend, this marks the end of singlehood for you. Likewise, when you break up with them, you re-enter into singlehood.

Guy 1: I finally got a girlfriend!!
