Grice's cooperative maxims are the unsaid norms. When I ask What are you doing tonight?, not only do you reply with an informative and cooperative answer (Oh, nothing much), but I can make the assumption that you're being informative and cooperative.
That is, that you're telling the truth.

Matt's thinking operates so beautifully sometimes, I just want to keep him under glass. His thesis on The Role of Cooperation in Human Interaction is simply delicious, and makes me want to write more and better. And eat his brains. Tasty tasty brains.
