The Shreyas Exception

The idea that wearing socks prevents any action from being gay. Unlike the Sock rule which makes sexual activities not gay, the Shreyas Exception is the unwavering belief that nothing you do can be at all gay while wearing socks. In extreme cases, those who swear by the Shreyas Exception sometimes claim that not wearing socks is in itself a homosexual act, and as such sometimes avoid changing socks for long periods of time.
