sprongle

A verb used to describe the warping of an object (and potentially the space-time continuum with it) into a completely different shape, usually when something amazing or rare happens. It has also been described as warping one's consciousness into a parallel universe for a short period of time. Often results in scrombling of the mind, which in turn causes mind chaos, dizziness, and thoughts leaking out into the physical world. Most popular as the subject of a surreal meme in which the one and only Meme Man sprongles.
The best way to sprongle into the highest level of the universe is to partake in a delicious h salad meal with friends.

sprong

A five-character sequence of C code: Left-square-bracket, zero, right-square-bracket, hyphen, greater-than.

Sprongs are a specific programming trick for C and C++ that can be used to quickly access a struct when you have a handle (a pointer-to-a-pointer) to it. Instead of "(**handle).member" you can use the equivalent code "handle0->member". The somewhat unusual construct "0->" is pronounced "sprong", and brings to mind the sound of a spring. The word may have been coined by Maf Vosburgh.

The use of sprongs was common among Macintosh computer programmers circa System 7 in the mid-1990s because of the large number of handles used in the Mac OS API.

Sprungy

An adjective used to describe the parents of a woman detailed in Juicy Jay's hit song "Slob on My Knob." It is unclear what the word means; I believe that it's a piece of 90s Memphis slang that was lost to time.

However, in the context of the song (see example below), it may possibly mean that the parents own the house but are never home, which allows the woman from Juicy J's story to "s*ck on d*ck," (asterisks added), uninterrupted. It may be a word to specifically describe parents, but I believe it has a more general, all-encompassing meaning.

Thus, my best guess for the definition of this word is as follows:

Sprungy (adj.) - A word to describe someone who spend a significant amount of time away from their home. More casually: the word to describe your friend you know who's always anywhere but home.
"She'll give you money, fill up your tummy
House full of kids, parents all sprungy"

- Juicy J, "Slob on My Knob" (1999)
