When two or more people try and stand as close together as possible with both hands in their pockets to avoid cold weather and strong winds.
This form of behavior is inspired by the Emperor Penguins, who form a big huddle (also known as the turtle formation) to avoid the extreme cold.
The participants will push themselves closer and closer to the group’s shifting center to keep warm.
“It’s so cold and windy. Let’s penguin to keep warm.”
“Look at that group of people penguining. I wish I could join them.”
“I’m freezing! Shall we penguin?”

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

Partner for life; a soulmate. Comes from the fact that once a penguin chooses a mate, they stay together for life.

1. A small, black and white, sexy aquatic flightless bird.

2. A rich guy who wears a tux everwhere..one whose ass must be kicked.

3. An idiotic character from the TV show Batman, who makes long ass schemes such as "i burn you slowly with a magnifying glass" to kill people instead of just shooting their ass. He has his very own asshat
1. That penguin was too busy being swarmed by women to talk to.

2. I kicked that penguins ass and stole his girlfriend.

3. Trever Clement is almost as gay as the Penguin.

The only species to survive the next ice age. They caught Harrison Ford with his pants around his ankles and sent him back in time. Now they're making him build gigantic ice machines that drop gigantic ice cubes into the sea until the world freezes over.
Penguins may look innocent and non-threatening, even cute, but they cannot be trusted!
