Minimum high regard
Minimum high regard is both a
that very rule. The irony reflects the arguably ambiguous intent of "minimum", since tone or context easily connote, the presumably intended meaning of- "no less than what is obviously required",
but the ironic and significantly sarcastic,
- "only to the insignificant degree, which the teethless rule pretends to be remotely capable of enforcing".
