Schrödinger's Mark is a situation that refers to a student who feels a lack of confidence, such that they are too ashamed to check their mark; choosing instead to live in a state of artificial emotional neutrality - thinking that their mark is both good and bad - as opposed to taking a gamble and having their next few days be either miserable or joyful.
This is similar to the quantum-physics theory known as Schrödinger's cat, whereby until the box is opened (or, in this case, when the student checks their mark); it is not known whether or not the cat is alive or dead - or, in this case, whether or not the mark is one which the student would be happy or unhappy with.
To conclude, by choosing not to check what mark was achieved, the student can live in the aforementioned state of ignorant emotional neutrality.

Student 1: "Shit man, I don't think I did too well on that test"
Student 2: "Damn, you gonna check your mark?"
Student 1: "Nah bro, no way. I don't want my day ruined. Even if I somehow did well, I don't want to take that chance"
Student 2: "Well shit, real Schrödinger's Mark situation, ain't it?"

A piece of media—such as a movie, book, television series, or video game—characterized by such poor quality or ambiguous tone that it is difficult to discern whether it was created as a serious work or intended as a parody.
"I couldn't tell if that movie was meant to be a serious thriller or a spoof—it’s total Schrödinger's Garbage. Every scene leaves you wondering if the bad acting and bizarre plot twists were intentional or just a sign of terrible filmmaking."

A fake player that plays and doesn’t know they’re in the game, but simultaneously plays so badly that they believe they’re the one being played by other people. They are playing and don’t understand the game.
Person 1: “He says they had joke sex and it was just a joke and he doesn’t see why they think they’re anything but friends.”
Person 2: “He’s Schrödinger’s player.”
Person 2: “He’s Schrödinger’s player.”

A Schrödinger is someone who decides what they meant by something only after seeing the reaction to it. A good example of this is Schrödinger's Douchebag, which is commonly defined as "Someone who says something bad, and decides weather or not it was a joke after seeing the reaction to it." Another example is someone who sends a risky text and says they accidentally sent it to the wrong person if the reaction to the text is negative.
Person One: This person asked me out and said it was a dare when I rejected them.
Person Two: That definitely wasn't a dare, they were just being a Schrödinger.

A big cock
Girl (12 years old): Holy guacamole I have never seen a schrödinger before!
Me (43 years old): Yes I know and it's still fresh even though I'm 43
Girl (12 years old): Isn't that a bit weird that you're 43 and im 12?
Me (43 years old): No? There's nothing weird about it; I'll come over to your house tommorow, just make sure your parents aren't home.
Girl (12 years old): Okay, hehe.
Me (43 years old): Can't wait to have SOOOOO much fun.

Schrödinger's Purpose is the act of coming up with a justification or explanation for something after its completion.
It involves attaching meaning beyond the original intent to make something seem deeper or to mask laziness.
As long as you can make it sound good you can hide a rush job by making it sound intentional and well thought out.

An example of Schrödinger’s Purpose is using a fancy sounding artist statement to justify not having added colour or shading to your drawing. “ The simple black and white represents the polarity of the potential paths of the future” etc etc.
“Ugh I don’t want to do that art assignment”
“Just Schrödinger’sPurpose it”
“What do you mean?”
“Just draw whatever you want, and come up with a way it relates to the project after you’re done”
“Good idea

A thoughtless political experiment in which contradictory and counterproductive governance creates a society so fragmented and chaotic that its leaders are only mocked rather than overthrown.
