The enduring legacy of the fin-de-xxe-siècle film Fight Club includes many pale imitators. Among the humanitiesincluding linguistics and related fieldsthe imitators can be quite pale, and pasty and soft to boot. Even these faint and frail shadows of the cult classic cannot fail to limn its most quintessential icon: the first rule of Fight Club (of which we need speak no further).

Below are the collected first rules of various Clubs of the Linguistical and Linguistically-Adjacent variety, gathered over nearly two decades by our dedicated team of graduate students, led by Marla S. Inger, who also organized a grad student support group.
