nine second rule

extra dispensation of time to the five second rule if you've swept, vacuumed, or mopped the floor earlier that day

He casually nabbed the chip from the floor within the nine second rule, the rug wouldn't be that clean again in weeks.

10-Second Rule

The rule that states that if you don't like what you see from a person in the first ten seconds you see them, than you will most likely not like them later on.

Is ussually used on apparent douchebags, seemingly annoying bitches, or preppy-ass motherfuckers.

Jim: Ay, Carl! Look at that guy over there.
(Carl looks at apparent douchebage and applies 10-Second Rule)
Carl: He looks like a fucking douche.

five second rule

h2oincfs' Corollary:

The food can remain on the floor for longer than five seconds, as long as you started reaching for it before the five seconds expired.

I had to change position after my first attempt to reach the Cheesy Poof that had fallen under my desk failed. However, I had begun the attempt before five seconds had passed, therefore the five second rule was not broken.

5 second rule

The supposed amount of time (5 seconds)you have to pick up food after it's been dropped on the ground or floor. Allegedly, the bacteria doesn't get on it before 5 seconds is up so you can still eat it if you pick it up really quickly. Sadly, it's all bullshit and not true but it makes good for justification - mainly so people don't call you gross.

*drops an ice lolly*
"FIVE SECOND RULE!"
*picks it up, brushes it off, sticks in mouth*

5 second rule

Any food that has fallen on the ground is allowed a maximum of 5 seconds before it is left as trash.

Well...I picked up this banana before it was on the ground for longer than 5 seconds. That's the 5 second rule.
