The best response to temporarily put off, or get out of, nearly anything. Most effective when combined with the terms "Like" or "About." Contains many useful applications:
1) Buying time
2) Fooling the other person into thinking you will do something when you actually have no intention to, and hoping they forget
3) Using it multiple times until the desired effect is achieved
(see below)
ex1) "Hey son, would you pause that game and clean your room for me?"
"Sure. Just gimme like five minutes."
ex2) "It's your birthday today? Of course I know...hey I'll be over in about 5 minutes and we'll hang out." (unsuspected birthday gift card run to the supermarket, as if you actually remembered)
ex3) "Good morning honey, time to get up for work."
"MMMyeah...in Five minutes."
(One hour later)
"Hey it's been an hour--get up already!!"
"Alright, alright.....in five minutes."

The "rule" prominant in high school that allegedly states that if a teacher is not present in the classroom five minutes after the final bell has rung to indicate class has begun, the class may leave.
Although this rule has been tested, no conclusive evidence has been gathered to rule on whether this rule is real or not.
After sitting in the dark classroom for five minutes without a teacher, the majority of the class decided to follow the Five Minute Rule, so they got up and went to the cafeteria.

When talking to someone of the opposite gender over some sort of electronic contraption, such as instant messaging, text messaging, or other alternate forms of communication, the rule states that if said person does not respond to a message in the time of five minutes, that they have either left, or are not paying attention to you. In most cases, this spells doom for relationships, but if your are talking to someone with a short attention span, this may be understandably excused with the necessary punishment of one minute of shunning.
Guy One: Dude, I was talking to that girl but she didn't respond for a few minutes so I used the five minute rule. I dont think she liked it.....
Guy Two: Yea, but its necessary to uphold justice in the social system....

A type of event which only lasts for 5 minutes, invented by CEM Bugra of Istanbul, Turkey.
A Five Minute Party can be held to celebrate an achievement, such as publishing something or finishing a project, or to create energy on an otherwise dull day.
A Five Minute Party is typically held in the mid-afternoon.
It involves music, dancing, and a bunch of people screaming and/or cheering. Alcohol is optional. Plugging your iPod into your car radio is also optional.
Venue can be anywhere, but using a garage is preferred as it gives a more original feeling (a feeling sometimes confused with awkwardness).
Henrik: We've finally just published the reports
Fred: What?
Henrik: The reports of the project we started like a million moons ago
Cem: This calls for a Five Minute Party! Everyone down to the garage
