Pringle Stack

Anal sex orgy in which men are stacked on top of each other, resembling Pringle potato chips in a can. Each person is penetrating the person below them while getting pounded from behind at the same time. Depending on how high or low you are in the group of bodies, there is a difference in the amount of force per thrust. The bottom person rarely survives with their asshole intact.

Pringles Theory

Named after the Pringles slogan, "Once you pop, you can't stop," this theory says that the longer someone waits to lose their virginity, the more they actively seek sexual activity once they do lose their virginity. The term "Pringles Theory" was first used by Michael LaFerney in a paper to describe this phenomenon commonly occuring in undergraduate students.
She didn't first have sex until she was twenty-five, but because of the Pringles Theory, once she lost her virginity she started sleeping around like crazy.

Pringling

In regards to art, pringling (and, by extension, repringling) is a fundamental centered around the usage of 90° angles, curves or spirals, and the relationship of lines.

The basis for determining the ‘amount’ of pringling is the distance from the right angle(s). Further, pringlage will occur in two main types - high priority pringling further from the center of the main angle and lower priority closer to the main angle. The contrast between pringling curves and sharp 90° angles is the cornerstone of pringling.

Beyond the 90° angle is what is deemed a ‘Pringle-Free(PF) Zone’. As its name suggests, no pringling is visible or even implied within the margin of it. Artworks may have multiple right angles , and in turn, multiple PF zones.

Oftentimes, pringling is redefined using a technique called repringling. This presents the pringling in a different light, thus making the subject of an artwork more easily read. It was first observed in pieces depicting wildlife, due to the angle found in animal snouts. However, introduction of repringling in portraits soon followed. Size of repringling sections varies immensely, and the repringling itself can quickly be overlooked by untrained eyes.

Pringling continues to be unfavored by the art community as a whole; this is a lasting result of previous anti-pringling movements. It is by far the least utilized fundamental. Furthermore, most professional art schools outright refuse to teach it, despite the concept being relatively simple.
“Pringling has nothing to do with chips.”

“The Persistence of Memory (1931) by Salvador Dalí is an excellent example of pringling.”

“This would look better with some repringling.”

“At first I thought I saw pringling, but upon further inspection, I was looking in a pringle-free zone.”
