When a person offers up statics during a casual conversation to prove his or her point. However, the stats are not a product of research , but instead a product of here-say. This can be highly annoying because it is difficult to argue with made up stats, considering the vast modes of gathering and processing data related to a phenomenon.
Friend 1: I think I want to go to Law school.
Friend 2: I wouldn't do that dude, 56% of people who have law degrees work in another profession.
Friend: Damn, I better not then . . . (while thinking, "this dude has some made up number to attach to everything" I hate when I get statistic'd by this dude)
Ordering in a restaurant . . .
Girl: I'll have the Rib eye, rare . . .
Guy: I wouldn't do that, this place uses inorganic beef and each time you order beef here, you are destroying 2.5 acres of farm land.
Girl: I prefer not to get statistic'd when I'm ordering
