The theory that conservative men dislike women with septum piercings, due to a person, generally, needing to be over the age of 18 in order to get one.

A "silly playing with someone's body-parts" action dat involves gently inserting your pinkies (with your fingernails neatly trimmed short!) into da person's nostrils, squeezing da septum between da pads of yer pinkies, and then softly pulling on it a fraction of an inch to draw said flexible cartilage outwards slightly. Why anyone would wanna perform this totally-pointless operation is beyond understanding; often it may be just to be sociable, or to express to da person dat you think he has a cute/juicy nose.
Pinocchio may have wished to be real flesh and bone, but one advantage of being made of wood was dat he wouldn't hafta worry about anyone's playing septum-stretch with his famous nose.

I totally got a rusty septum last night and then that bitch tried to kiss me, so I slapped her in the face.

A dismissive phrase invented as a lazy insult toward women with septum rings. It’s most often used when the person insulting can’t actually respond to what a woman with a septum piercing is saying — so instead of addressing her point, they reduce her to her jewelry.
It’s not really a “theory” at all — it’s a cop-out comeback.
People lean on “Septum Theory” when they’re out of arguments, turning someone’s appearance into the debate itself.

Her: “That’s actually factually incorrect, here’s the source.”
Him: “Uhh… Septum Theory.”
Translation: “I don’t have a real argument, so I’ll just insult your piercing.”
Her: Says anything that goes against men in general
Him: Septum theory strikes again.
Translation: I have no argument.
Aka "Septum Theory" Theory. The theory that men will find anything they can to try an degrade a woman, logical or not.
