statistically significant other

A significant other whose status is not created by a agreed-upon relationship status but by how much time is spent with them. Could also be considered a behavioral significant other.

Combination of "statistically significant" and "significant other."
Since he spent twice as much time with Karen as with any of the other girls he was dating, his friends called Karen his statistically significant other.

Statistical Mechanics

The belief that thermodynamic systems can be expressed using statistics. It is mostly used to more accurately express a system where there are many microstates involving microscopically observable quantities (e.g. kinetic energy of particle 1, 2, 3, ... , n-1, n or Potential energy of particle 1, 2, 3, ..., n-1, n as opposed to quantities like pressure or volume).

What the author of this article should be revising now, Statistical Mechanics (or stat mech as it's more conveniently known) can be described by many physics students as a "cluster-fuck of endless equations and probability distribution functions designed to intentionally screw up their mind altogether".

It is widely known that stat mech is utterly incomprehensible until the actual exam day, when all the nonsensical examples and equations (most notably finding the entropy of an elastic band expressed as a function of the number of links in said band, and the expression of gas molecules as masses on springs) seem to reach perfect clarity and they tend to walk out with at least a 2-1.

Naysayer Bullshit Statistic

The law known as the "Naysayer Bullshit Statistic" means that at least 50% of people with a highly negative view of something are poorly informed about it, haven't tried it to its full potential or are just plain making stuff up to satisfy their bias opinion regardless of whether they know they're wrong or not.

Statistics

Statistics is like saying: There is 30% chance it will rain, 70% chance it will not rain, but I am not certain if its going to rain.
