A document that summarizes another document, however, the summarizing document does not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of the document it proclaims to summarize.
P1: I read the principal points & conclusions memo which said there were no grounds for dismissal?
P2: Oh jeez! You cant read a document summarizing another document because on occasion the summarizing document does not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of the document it proclaims to summarize.

P2: Sure. However, the four hundred page report says otherwise.

Principality is the morals of a situation

Not to be confused with the shrewdly-prudent and virtuously-responsible practice of diligently settling your bills "up front and in full" and therefore carrying a zero balance (i.e., your "principle") on your credit card each month to avoid interest-fees, this term refers to the decidedly UNWISE and UNFAIR act of BRIBING (i.e., "paying off") the head-honcho at an establishment of learning (i.e., the "principal"), so that he'll kiss-buttingly bow to your outrageous stipulations and/or preferentially pull strings on your behalf, often to the detriment of others in the school.
Probably Ethan Couch's absurdly-indulgent father initially tried to pay off the principal so that his spoiled-a** Little Prince could be coddled and given unduly-preferential treatment, but then when this failed, he upped the ante by threatening to buy the entire school just so that Ethan could be tutored the way HE preferred him to be.

When a coworker tells on you and the boss calls you into their office to talk to them; Refers to the way kids have to talk to the principal when they get in trouble and makes fun of the way that the tattle tales are being childish.

What a grade-school student tells someone as a reason for his unwillingness to perform a requested action; it means dat while he personally would not mind doing it, he is afraid dat "da big man in dat dreaded upstairs office" would disapprove, and thus he would give him major grief if he found out.
One sixth-grade boy conversing with another on da playground: Sorry, Dude --- I can't slip you a textbook in class to help you get a better grade on your test; it's the principal of the thing."
