“PRNDL” word up?

PRNDL a word? Well hh thinks so it was cute and funny, we went to do a little car shopping Tuesday night and when we got in the first vehicle hh says wow this one even come with a "prindle". So S and I look at each other and say what is that? She's pretty jazzed about it at this point and we don't have a clue what it is…. Well she points to the automatic shifter and says " you know a prindle"!! well needless to say we tell her that is not a common term, ask a few of your friends you text and ask your brother J? she says o.k and texts a couple of friends and J, he has no clue and his buddies don't either, her friends don't know. So I tell her text cha cha and see if they give you an answer, and yes they did and it was a term used to identify the gear shifter on an automatic transmission. And so it goes life with children is never dull.
