    Isn't that when a singularity is, like, ring-shaped? I'm pretty sure it has other properties, too, but none are coming to mind at the moment...

    Yep! Here's a bit more about them:

    Spoiler
    While most people think that singularities are the centers of black holes, a ringularity is a more likely to be the centers of these strange entities. For anyone who doesn't know, a singularity is a theoretical single point in space where all the mass of a black hole is concentrated. It is infinitely small with an infinite density. This is the simple version when thinking about black holes, but it doesn't take into account that most (if not all) black holes are spinning. When their stars implode, it isn't like they stop rotating. In fact they'll probably rotate more as the collide into themselves. A ringularity is a singularity in a ring shape because of the speed of the black hole's rotation. Please note that this may be wrong, and I'm not an expert.
