The Schonfeld Principle

When you gamble against what you want to happen so you’re happy either way (essentially hedging your happiness)

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.

Priscille

Priscille is very tiny and is very cute. She is most likely known to be a complicated and confusing girl. She has a high level of knowledge and cares very deeply about her friends that she considers them like family. She might come off as annoying but that’s just because she cares about you no matter how much she won’t admit it. She’s also a girl who can be very open minded and is an extrovert but at other times she can be reserved and introverted. Priscille is definitely not easy to calls yours she’s very hard to keep up with and she needs someone that’s able to understand and care about her just as much as she cares about them.
