Senior Principle Intern

An individual with excessive years of internship at the same company, without receiving a job offer. Almost always is paid at half rate. Deserves little to no praise for work accomplished.

Those papers from the Senior Principle Intern finally arrived on my desk this morning, they are excessively late and faulty.

Perkinstein Principle

When an authority figure gives clear instructions to a group of people, multiple times in some cases, but most or all of the group fails to follow the instructions given in any way, potentially causing the authority figure to dwell into madness.

Teacher 1: Man, I told my students to draw 4 lines, but most of them drew 5, and some didn’t even draw lines!
Teacher 2: Ah the Perkinstein Principle, don't you go mad now.

The Dave Principle

Society has to move at the speed of the slowest person, ie it only takes one idiot to ruin something good for everyone else.

The Dave Principle states that 1 person ruins it for everyone. "We used to be able to drive as fast as we wanted, and then Dave had to drive faster than he could handle and killed a bunch of people. Now we have speed limits. THANKS DAVE!" -

The Franchise-Principle

When a song sucks the first time you listen to it but after listening to it more often it turns out to be actually fire.
Like the song Franchise by Travis Scott.

This song „...“ is a perfect example for The Franchise-Principle

Milley Principle

Milley Principle, n.

When a United States military officer undermines the civilian command and control of the military and Promises to betray his country to an enemy, he is giving effect to the milly principal. A person that gives effect to the Milley Principle may also be referred to as a "Benedict Arnold."

See related definition, "Benedict Arnold."

The French military does not follow the Milley Principle, so they kill their enemies first and then announce doing so.

Chelsea Principle

The larger a house is, the larger the bathroom - to - bedroom ratio is.

"Check out all the bathrooms in this mansion!"
"That's the Chelsea Principle for ya."
