Principal Principle 

The foremost rule of a brave, strong, and wise Commander in Chief:

Start no unnecessary war.

The Principal Principle of a great President, one who knows war or understands war and is dedicated to the safety and security of the American people, would be:

Start no unnecessary war.

This is basic, fundamental.

the gillis principle

The Gillis Principle outlines the proportionality between the amounts of mountain dew and marijuana that would kill an average human.

Mathematically, 1 Gillis (Gi) is the unit of either substance (Marijuana or Mountain Dew) that would kill a human when consumed within an hour. Both substances have calculated conversion rates based on experimental data.

Mountain Dew: 8823mg Caffeine = ~173 cans = 61L = 1Gi/Hour
Marijuana: 68000g THC = 971 000 Joints = 1Gi/Hour

It can be concluded using the Gillis Principle that Mountain Dew has a far higher lethality rate than Marijuana.

Friend 1: "Hey, did you hear? Jared smoked himself to death last night."
Friend 2: "Yeah that must've been a Gillis-ton of weed!"
Friend 1: "Using the Gillis Principle, that was like 971 000 Joints."

Inverse Intoxication Principle

The principle stating that people who say that they are "soo drunk right not" are usually fairly sober, while people who say they are "not that drunk" are usually highly intoxicated.

Max: Dude, I swear I'm not that drunk.

Sam: You just pissed in our trashcan asshole. I think you're pretty fucked up right now.

Kyle: Yeah he's gone. Perfect example of the Inverse Intoxication Principle.

The Franchise-Principle

When a song sucks the first time you listen to it but after listening more often it turns out to be actually fire.
Just like the song Franchise by Travis Scott

This song „...“ is a perfect example for The Franchise-Principle

Scotty Principle

(n.) The defacto gold star standard for delivering products and/or services within a projected timeframe. Derived from the original Star Trek series wherein Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott consistently made the seemingly impossible happen just in time to save the crew of the Enterprise from disaster.

The premise is simple:

1) Caluculate average required time for completion of given task.

2) Depending on importance of task, add 25-50% additional time to original estimate.

3) Report and commit to inflated time estimate with superiors, clients, etc.

4) Under optimal conditions the task is completed closer to the original time estimate vs. the inflated delivery time expected by those waiting.

The following situation is a simulation of the Scotty Principle in practice.

Kirk: "The ship seems sluggish today. When was the last time you did a tune-up on the warp drive?"

Scotty: "Aye, sir. She's due. Last maintenance was 56 days ago."

Kirk: (light chuckle) "Well, what are you waiting for? An ambush from cloaked Romulans?"

Scotty: "I'll need to check how much dilithium we have in supply, but she'll be better than new in no time."

Kirk: "And that will be...?"

Scotty: "Six hours."

--- four hours later ---

Scotty: "All done, sir. Care to test her out?"

--- Enterprise taken rapidly to warp 3, does a few doughnuts, comes to a smooth stop ---

Kirk: "Scotty, there's no finer engineer in this quadrant!"

House Principle

If the expectation is that someone will be a complete asshole, then it becomes okay for that person to be a complete asshole.

Dr. Gregory House in any episode of House M.D. exhibits the House Principle.
