The principle that nobody gives a shit about the sport of track and field. This is based on the idea that no one cares who is faster because it is not an achievable skill, it is simply a genetic ability. The great philosopher Marteen stated that "it is Track and Field like having a competition on who's dick is the biggest, it is not actually an athletic competition"
Friend1: "Bro, I ran a 54.6 in the 400 yesterday"
Friend2: "Come on man abide by The Marteen Principle"
Friend1: "What?"
Friend2: "Nobody gives a fuck about Track"

The bear principle is the theoretical idea that you don't need to be able to outrun an angry bear to escape; you only have to outrun the guy next to you.
Can be used as a metaphor for almost anything where the "bear" is some type of authority and you are the one trying to not get eaten. Evading police, cheating, internet piracy, drug dealing, etc.

When it comes to internet piracy, the bear principle states that while it is difficult or impossible to be completely anonymous when torrenting, IP blockers like PeerBlock will focus the attention of the "bear" on those that take no precautions at all. Anti-piracy types are not likely to go through the extra effort needed to track you when there are plenty of people who can be tracked effortlessly.

I'm learning to speak Cherokee, the original language spoken where I live, in accordance with Palin's Principle.

"If everyone likes it, it can't be good." A statement coined by an English teacher to describe shallow films and literature which appeal to the mindless masses.
The Twilight Saga is the poster-child for Petrie's Principle.

The Nefario Principle states that the bigger the mass of an object, the quicker the effect of a shrink ray wears off.
The larger the mass of an object, the quicker the effects of the shrink ray wear off! I call it the Nefario Principle. I just came up with it now, actually.

Unabbreviated meaning of the acronym "gp".

Thugs, pimps, dealers, inmates, etc. have an inherent General Principle instict derived from street life experience, pride, and respect for the game.

Those that possess General Principle cannot allow themselves to "go out like a punk".
