Child Supervision 

When an older person, especially a parent, needs a tech-savvy kid to help him/her with computers or other electronic devices.
"Jimmy, could you send your kid over to help me with my facebook? Im afraid I might get a virus without some child supervision."

"Dad, if you dont know how many o's are in Google, why dont you just ask for some child supervision?"

Superstitious 

A person who is superstitious is a person who doesn't require eveidence to believe in something.

A non-superstitious person does require eveidence.
Some people require proof to believe something exists. Others require less than that.

Those others are superstitious.

Supersection

When the sports section of the newspaper has not only the sports (duh) but also the comics, sudoku and crossword. It's frikken awesome.
Hey, today the toronto star had a supersection. Why did they even bother to print the rest of the newspaper?

The Baku Superposition 

The Baku Superposition is where one is simultaneously a multimillionaire and broke or in debt. Commonly found in Sethical's Baku series.
Young Cash Register aka Lil' 🅱️roomstick is in the Baku Superposition

Superstition

The belief in supernatural phenomina, concepts, or figures; the opposite of logic or knowledge or facts.
Religion is the best example of superstition.

Guy 1: Oh no, I'm gonna get ran over by a car!
Guy 2: Why? Do you plan to run into the street?
Guy 1: Uh, no! I saw a black cat running past me a few yards away on my way here. That's a sign something bad is gonna happen, and I'm scared of cars too...
Guy 2: Ok, you're just being superstitious. Next thing you'll tell me is that psychics are actually psychic.
Guy 1: But... they are.

Guy 2: -__-

Extraphysical Superposition

Extraphysical Superposition is a fundamental principle of extraphysical mechanics. It states that any two (or more) extraphysical states, objects and bodies can be added togehter ("superposed") and the result will be another valid extraphysical state; and conversely, that every extraphysical state can be represented as a sum of two or more other distinct states.
"Extraphysical Superposition might explain why there are literally no evidences of near-death experiences (NDE), since it would behave like quantum superposition, the conscience of the person might be outside the body, but when it is measured, the body is still working, showing the principle of extraphysical superposition might be right and the person is in the body and outside the body at the same time, kinda like "Schrödinger's cat" but without being a paradox. We can also use extraphysical superposition for explain mediumship and astral projection as well."

"Extraphysical Superposition is literally Quantum Superposition at extraphysical level, proving that extraphysical mechanics and quantum mechanics are actually complement of each other, leading to the possibility of the superquantum mechanics."

Quantum superposition 

Acclaimed, widely-misunderstood physical principle, used by the media to make sci-fi statements about the nature of the universe and computation theory.

Definition. Quantum superposition:

1. (Informal) If an object can be on two (or more) different states of nature, then it can be on several on them at the same time. Interacting with the object to measure its state will destroy such "wonderful" superposition. This amazing effect is only easy to observe in very small systems with current technology.

2. One of the coolest discoveries about Nature ever made.
3. A synonym used by some famous authority figures for ignorance.

The last two due to complexity theorist Scott Aaronson.

Confer Wikipedia for a more rigorous explanation.
1. In a Hydrogen atom, the electron spinning around the nucleus can live in a 'quantum superposition' of the state of minimum energy and the first excited state. If you measure the superposition in the lab, you measure one of the states randomly!
2. In a quantum computer, a bit can be in a quantum superposition of the values '0' and '1'.
3. The famous Schrödinger Cat illustration: an isolated cat in a box where there is a threat that can potentially kill him is in a quantum superposition of 'alive' and 'dead'. Opening the box would collapse the cat to one of these states. This is actually a mnemotechnic to remember definition 1.
