A simple rule stating that food dropped on the ground is still perfectly edible if it is picked up in five seconds. Ingeniously created by guys for the sole purpose of reducing wasted food and allowing a person that second chance they needed to enjoy their food.
Jason: I dropped my steak on the ground!
Chris: That sucks.
Jason: Nah, five second rule, I saved it.
Chris: Nice.

Five Second Rule
This is a very complex law of physics. It states that if food (goldfish, for example) is dropped on the floor, it can be "safely" eaten within five seconds. The five second rule is very fun to apply when in...say...architectural drawing class, usually when Mr. Johnson leaves the room.
When other people are attempting to throw goldfish in your mouth, but miss and hit you smack diddley doo in the face, the five second rule applies as soon as it makes solid contact with the floor.
The food can remain on the floor for longer than five seconds, as long as you started reaching for it before the five seconds expired.
I had to change position after my first attempt to reach the Cheesy Poof that had fallen under my desk failed. However, I had begun the attempt before five seconds had passed, therefore the five second rule was not broken.

Five Second Rule
A wholly untrue rule that states that if your food drops to the floor/ground and has contact for less than five seconds, you can simply pick it up and eat it without risk of sickness. This is untrue, of course. Bacteria covers your food upon contact, it doesn't take five seconds for them to attach.
A rule apply for taking a shat in public toilet, stating that after you saw someone exited a public toilet, you can't enter and seat within 5 seconds, otherwise you will still feel the creepy warmth as if you are placing your ass upon another unidentified, disgusting ass that just pooped
Pete: Oh man I was about to shit my pants so I ignored the five seconds rule of the public toilet Pete's boyfriend: We are not going to do anal for 5 months because of that

Five Second Rule
when a male wakes up in the middle of the night and pees in the dark using the sound of splashing water or the side of the bowl as a guide
If you're missing the bowl by less than five seconds, you're OK and don't have to worry about cleaning up after yourself
The rule that states if a guy is in and out of a girl's vagina (and finishes) while having sex in five seconds or less, it doesn't count toward his body count.
