The r/writing subreddit Principle

The r/writing subreddit Principle states that if your question starts with the words "Is it ok" or something similar to that then the answer is invariably yes.
"Hello, r/writing. Can I use a particular gimmick or a plot device that has been used before but because I don't actually read books or do any research I just assume it to be a highly original idea?"

"According to the r/writing subreddit Principle, the answer is always yes. You can write whatever you want."

"But is it ok if, like, my main character dies in the end? I'm afraid the average reader will be put off by my creative genius."

"Yes! Stop asking other people for validation! Grow a backbone and write what you want!"

The Schonfeld Principle

When you gamble against what you want to happen so you’re happy either way (essentially hedging your happiness)
“I’m a big Yankee fan but I bet against them today. I’m using The Schonfeld Principle.”

Bruckheimer Principle

The school of entertainment which values style over content to the point of a fault. Epitomizes the saying, "sell the sizzle, not the steak."

Often allows a character or characters to perform egregious violations of physics, social moorings, or general reality with few negative consequences as long as said character(s) looks good while doing so. Always involves an inordinate amount of special effects. Characteristically produces attempts at entertainment which are highly dependent on the audience's emotions but independent of its cerebral abilities.
Applying the Bruckheimer Principle to his situation, the hero was able to make a ramp out of a nearby flatbed tow-truck, get his vehicle over 90mph, and jump over the huge line of traffic (and the accident that caused it) to safety.

A nuclear warhead, with the Bruckheimer Principle carefully applied, can break an asteroid the size of Texas in half.

PC Principal

The new principal of South Park Elementary who is in his 20s, believes that Caitlyn Jenner is the most courageous person alive, that all immigrants here are not illegal immigrants but undocumented immigrants. His views and youth make him likely to beat up a student for calling something the wrong thing as he is part of the fraternity PCA and is politically correct.

His main opponent in South Park is Mr. Garrison who quit his job as teacher to run for presidency.
PC Principal: Did you refer to a Canadian student as a canuck?
Mr. Garrison: I did, sorry not sorry, tellin it as it is.

uncertainty principle

1. States the position and momentum of a particle cannot be simultaneously measured with arbitrarily high precision. This is a crucial concept that is a part of quantum mechanics

2. The modern-day version states to never judge a girl's looks from a distance greater than or equal to 50 feet.
The uncertainty principle seems very straightforward.

Man, I was drunk last night at the party and the uncertainty principle totally slipped my mind. I swore he looked like a girl.
