Verbal Curfew
When one is unable to talk in ones own house past a certain time (on the phone or otherwise) due to the fact that their parents or guardians are vicious tyrants. Penalties for breaking a verbal curfew include ripping out the tounge, a guilt trip, cutting off the left testicle, and other various punishments.
