When students’ reliance on a scientific or graphing calculator prevents them from being fluent in performing certain basic operations, such as factorizing a function, finding the zeros of a cubic polynomial, and standardizing a normal distribution from the Statistical Tables—ritually pressing a set of keys often conceals their poor understanding or mastery of these routines.
If only math teachers and tutors would implement the “No Calculators Allowed” rule, students would be manually forced to learn the routine or tedious steps in getting the answer to some intermediate step of a problem.

A catch phrase that is slowly becoming popular in and around Buffalo, NY and the Niagara Region of Ontario. Often used when no actual approval is necessary or required. Best used in situations where the topic of conversion or particular comment made by someone embodies a particular style/character facet of the phrase user.
Timmy: BRB I'm going to go get that MILF's digits.
Johnny: I'll allow it...

The phrase to end all good times. Usually exclaimed by a fun-hating woman who can not stand to see her friends enjoy themselves. Must be exclaimed in a half-speed baritone for greatest effect. Can also be used to mock that person at the first hint ruining a good time.
Anyone care for another drink, perhaps play a game, enjoy yourself?
No fun allowed!

The phrase that clueless people put at the top of their group posts on facebook to indicate that they're too special to be bothered with reading the group rules, and so self important that they need to tell the admins how to do their job. Usually the post is spam advertising their youtube channel or marketplace item.
I see this a lot in groups and threads. The person will preface by saying “please delete if not allowed” followed by doing or posting something that is obviously not allowed. The rules are right there for everyone to read and why bother posting it if you know that it isn’t allowed?
