The Broadhurst Rule

Rule that is put into effect on certain social occasions that require multiple people to split a bill that could potentially cause complications. Someone must state ahead of time that the Broadhurst rule is "in effect" or else no one can be expected to observe it. When the rule is in effect, everyone attending the event must bring cash so no debit or credit cards have to be thrown onto the table in a massive, confusing pile. If someone forgets to observe the rule, they must pay for the whole bill with their card or leave right away at the beginning of the event.

You and 5 friends are going out to dinner to celebrate someone's birthday, ahead of time you state that the Broadhurst rule is "in effect" everyone except your friend Wayne brings cash to split the bill. Wayne now has to pay for the whole bill.

Students: *start tryharding at uno*

Brighton rules

If one of the group calls “Brighton rules”, then every pub seen on a route from location A to location B must be entered and a pint each consumed. Clarifications: must be a pint, and must be a pub as per the standard definition (no “bars”).

Ed’s called Brighton rules, keep an eye out for the next pub as we have to get a pint. And the one after that, and after that..

Shakespeare Rule

The Shakespeare Rule is a writing technique in which, much like the structure of any Shakespearean soliloquy, you summarise the general meaning of the paragraph in the last few lines.

"The Shakespeare Rule is a good method to experiment with"

"I overuse The Shakespeare Rule"

Niedens Rule

Ability to adjust rules according to what is needed to win an argument, game, etc

I'm sorry, we are invoking Niedens Rule so your logic no longer applies.
