The Naked Houseboy is judged to be Going To The Rodeo when he engages in any prohibited act or omission for which another rule or protocol specifically requires such act or omission to continue for a minimum of eight consecutive seconds before it is considered a punishable offense, and the Naked Houseboy is considered to have Gone To The Rodeo and locked in his future discipline once the eight consecutive seconds have passed.

(Note: Enforcement of ‘The Rodeo Rule’ has nothing to do with actual rodeos. The name and timing of this rule is a euphemistic reference to Professional Rodeo’s requirement that a competing cowboy or cowgirl must remain on a bucking bronco for eight consecutive seconds to receive full points for the ride. It also provides Master a quick and discreet phrase to inform the Naked Houseboy that he is about to or already has earned an unpleasant punishment).
