Only when it is cold and rainy. I often say, "Man, my prindle is acting up, must be the weather."

No- but a bunch of equipment I use has a FNRP lever- Forward, Neutral, Reverse, Park. Everyone else in the equipment world calls it a shuttle lever. A lady who works for me calls it the F-nerp lever, or just the F-nerp. So, I totally get it.

I was going to say that. That’s the first place I heard that called it. Have heard it some since then.


Side note I think they finally got seated for their table (actually from that dumb sequel suite life on deck that I didn’t watch). Table wasn’t going to be open until Nov 16,2023.

That joke was written by SNL alum Rich Hall. He wrote a book called “Snigglets” which were words he invented for previously unnamed things.

The first time I heard it was in the 80s on Rich Halls tv show Not Necessarily The News when he did the Sniglets.

A sniglet (/'sn?gl?t/) is an often humorous word made up to describe something for which no dictionary word exists. Introduced in the 1980s TV comedy series Not Necessarily the News, sniglets were generated and published in significant numbers, along with submissions by fans, in several books by Rich Hall.

Examples
Aquadextrous: possessing the ability to turn the bathtub faucet with the toes

Icelanche: When ice at the bottom of an upturned glass suddenly moves toward the mouth as one attempts to finish drinking the liquid

Snackmosphere: the pocket of air found inside snack and/or potato chip bags
