The 10 minute rule, and in some cases the 5 or even 15 minute rule, is an unwritten rule in schools, colleges and universities.

The rule is used when you have a class/lecture, and the idea is that if the teacher/lecturer is not there in the classroom within the said time period (5, 10 or 15 minutes - depending on what has been decided) then you can assume that they aren't coming and you can therefore leave to do other stuff/go home. This could also possibly be used in the workplace for meetings. (change 'teacher' to 'boss')

N.B. This rule can also be used/changed to deliberately skip classes. E.g. if you know that a teacher will be 10 minutes last, you can switch to using the 5 minute rule and leave before they get there, thereby skipping the class.
Student 1: It's been 8 minutes and Mr Greenwood isn't here yet.

Student 2: 10 minute rule?

Student 1: Good idea. If he's not here in the next 2 minutes, I'm off.

The racist door is a figurative/metaphorical door that is opened when somebody makes a racist comment. This either allows for further racist comments or it allows for the retort: "You are a racist" or words to that effect, thereby closing the racist door.

Coined on Mock The Week, by Frankie Boyle, when someone made a racist comment against Scotland (his homeland) and he replied: "Thanks for opening the racist door for me."
"Hello children, shall we see what's behind the racist door today? Oh, it's ching chong chinaman."

<hears racist comment> "Does anybody hear a creaking door?"

Knighthood - the status of being a knight

Singlehood - the status of being single

Some can't wait to escape singlehood, some don't mind it or even revel in it. When you get a girl/boyfriend, this marks the end of singlehood for you. Likewise, when you break up with them, you re-enter into singlehood.
Guy 1: I finally got a girlfriend!!

Guy 2: So you can finally leave singlehood behind, then.

Guy 1: Damn right. Let's go for a drink.
