(Pronounced "prindle") The lever used to select gears on an automobile equipped with an automatic transmission. Usually located on the column behind the steering wheel, or floor mounted on the center console, ahead of and between the front seats.
Put the PRNDL in D to move forward, in R to reverse, and use L when climbing steep hills.
I asked my friend what that PRNDL thing was in the center console of his car. I hadn't seen anything like that before, since my vehicle says 1-2-3-4-5-6-R. I figured it was an acronym for Person Really Needs Driving Lessons, since I didn't know how to use the PRNDL thing.
A statement as to how life is treating you, plans for the day, how things are going; using the gear position of an automobile; Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive and Low. As a way of expressing what you are doing or feel about yourself.
So what’s the Prndl? I’m parking it for the day, don’t feel like doing much. Oh I shouldn’t have said that! “prindle”, (wanting to reverse what was said).
