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.

Strategistics

We are not judged by our mere expression of ideas, but by what we do with those ideas and how effectively we execute them.

Strategicians give legs to ideas. In this, there are four components to the work of a strategician:

What do you want to do? – Strategy
How are you going to get there? – Logistics
How are you going to do it? – Tactics
Doing it – Execution

Too often we jump from the first component straight to the fourth while giving little consideration to five and six. It is the missed steps where our ideas lose the ability to last. We are impatient to perform our due diligence in following through the steps because our focus becomes on the race “to get there first.” Desperation often times lacks discipline, and yet long term and sustainable success demands it.

With the world of social media, social media is application. Strategistics is the infrastructure for that application ensuring that one's message doesn't shoot from the hip, but rather shoot from a strategy. Otherwise, application has no rudder.

Applying strategistics to your message is the difference between developing a sound plan and infrastructure and just simply talking about it. Sure, the world could always use new ideas because many, often times, spur on other ideas; however, what the world really needs, is ideas with legs and that my friends, is what strategistics is all about.
Before they applied the principles of Strategistics to their message, their message simply shot from the hip and not from a strategy. It was like their message had no rudder.

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.

Youtube Statistics

The graph that Youtubers shove directly into your face to guilt-trip you into subscribing to them.
According to Youtube Statistics, only a few like this definition, so if you found that this definition is funny, consider liking it. It means a lot to me, it's free, and if you hate me, you can always dislike this post. Enjoy.

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.

Statisdick

An huge dill hole who constantly converses with others about statistics.

OR

A statistics teacher who assigns too much homework.
Example 1 -

Guy 1: "Hey did you guys catch the basketball game last night. It was incredib-"
Guy 2 (interjects): "I love finding the z-score of everything!"
Guy 1: "I was telling a story. Stop being such a statisdick."

Example 2 -

Teacher: "I know you guys have 3 essays due tomorrow, so I'll just assign you 10 pages of really hard Stats homework tonight. Sound good?"

Student (after class): "That guy is such a statisdick."
