Get the Pronger mug.An expression used by a guy to describe being in a situation in which he is the only man in an area full of women. Usually refers to a situation in which he is not happy to be amongst many women. Expression comes from the fact that a power cord with three prongs looks like it has a penis, while a power cord with two prongs would look more feminine in comparison. The three prong plug would not fit into a two prong outlet, as the man does not belong in this female happy zone.
Examples would be his girlfriend/wife dragged him to a chick flick, and he was the only guy; or his girlfriend/wife dragged him to a concert that was a person only women are fans of; or when she drags her guy into a store especially for women like Yankee Candle, Bath & Body Works or Victoria's Secret.

Boy let me tell you, last night was a nightmare. The wife really wanted to go see some movie so I took her and I mustve been the only guy in the whole room. Talk about being a three prong in a two prong world! It was horrible!
