In cold weather, "penguining" refers to gathering together in a crowd to keep warm. The person in the middle gets the benefit of the body heat of the others, then people take turns being in the middle. Taken from the common practice of penguins in the Antarctic.

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?”

The process where we lose our ability to preform certain skills because of an over reliance of tools that we have created. e.g. calculators, computers, iTouch, etc. This happened when penguins stopped flying and they lost the ability to fly after a certain amount of time that had passed.
We were once able to add numbers visually at great speed, but have lost the ability due to the introduction of calculators is an example of penguinization. Cell phones with speed dial is another example of no longer remembering anyone's phone number because we access numbers electronically rather than relying on our memory.

Typically done by prostitutes and crack whores. This means to remove a man's pants to his ankles and then run off with his money leaving him waddling after you like a penguin.
Man 1:"Dude, you got 5 bucks I can borrow?"
Man 2:"I'm totally broke. Last night this crack whore gave me the penguin."
