If the situation is bad, it could be exponentially worse.
- Dude I slept with my cousin
- Don't worry about it, rule 2.71
Rules governing sexual behavior, which start out with good intentions, but when the rule-maker becomes wet said rules fall to pieces, much like cardboard.
I had a cardboard rule about not fucking strangers but when Jeremy went down on me, it totally fell apart.
When you're co workers call you a cheater and your visceral response confirms just how sanctimonious your truly are.
I did not cheat! I am not a cheater! I may have won that Pinewood Derby race in a way that was Not in the spirit of the rules, but it was absolutely not cheating!
Look, but don't touch
(example from Harley Quinn s1 e5
Dr Psycho: While we're in here, you all follow hooker rules.
Poison Ivy: No kissing on the mouth?
Dr Psycho: Sorry, stripper rules. Look, but don't touch.
Opposite of a criminal; a rather boring and frustrating person who is very lawfully upright, non-rebellious, submissive to authority and so conforming to rules, safety norms and standards to the point that it gets uncool when they themselves or others need to break the rules even for good reasons, they try controlling others with their rules, and may possibly have been a high school nerd, were once felons themselves and got fucked up, or were emotionally unable to be influenced to do the slightest types of deviance (bullying, staying out past curfew, stealing, drinking, partying, fights, pranks, foul language, etc.) during their teenage years either because they were way too wiser than 99.99% of teens, they lived in a very strict environment, they have a naturally righteous or obsessive-compulsive personality, or they haven't really grown past the childlike obediance stage for some reason. Legal prudeness is often considered a form of "experience virginity" if you haven't really enjoyed a phase of being "deviant" or nonconforming at least a single time during your teen years, so others will try to influence you just for the kick of it and get you to taste the hot, sweet flame of rebellion that you missed out on. Anyway, we've all known this one teacher who's a rule freak...
Not to be confused with grammar nazis or police officers.
Amir: Where can I download a crack of Adobe Photoshop CS5?
Ben: I suggest you not to. It's illegal.
Amir: You serious man? Don't be such a rule freak. It's not like they're gonna track me down and handcuff me.
The Rule of Backtracking mainly applies to the game Dead Space, where the player does a lot of backtracking throughout the levels. Basically, if you leave an area where you've killed monsters and then come back, those monsters will have mysteriously respawned. It's handy for players to know, especially on Impossible Mode, that just because you have cleared out an area does not mean that it's totally safe for the rest of the game.
Pedro: What the heck is this crap? Man, I swore I cleaned out this area, and now there are more monsters! I don't have any med packs left!
Napoleon: Dude, the Rule of Backtracking, man.
*player is mauled to death by a Necromorph*
Napoleon: Told you.
To have sex with someone else after recently breaking up with your ex. The faster you move on, the faster you get over them. Like FedEx (fast shipping/movement, fast delivery).
As Jenna was heartbroken over her recent break-up, she applied the FedEx Rule to herself and was over her ex in a week.
