Statistics AP

A division of math that requires much writing and analytical thought. Taken by AP nerds, those hellbent on going to the 'best' colleges, or by those with a masochistic streak. Can be taken in place of Caluculus, or, for those who really enjoy self-punishment, concurrently. Mostly taken by seniors.

I'm taking Statistics AP this year because I don't feel like taking Calc AP, but my year wouldn't be hellish enough without it.

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.

Stainstorming

To contemplate a complex work issue while relieving oneself on the toilet. Differs slightly from slogging (s*hit logging) in that it can often be done in concert depending on the capacity of the facilities in the office.
Also closely related to core system log export.

Ralph devised an excellent solution to solve the big clients issues while stainstorming after $1 burrito day at the cantina.

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.

stanislavski opinion

The opinion you entertain so completely that you functionally believe it while you express it, no matter the possibility that you will express-and, to an extent, believe-an opposite opinion later.

John was telling Kate to "just accept that women in video games have huge breasts because that's what sells and we should let the free market function as it will". But that appears to have been a stanislavski opinion, because two days later he was arguing that the writers for Star Wars should focus on it's "real fans" rather then diversifying the cast "Just to sell to a larger audience".

stanislas

A ginger hotty who makes absolutely every girl fall in love with him. He is especially good at running (after girls) because he does athletisme. Also, let's not forget his muscles are dayumn smoking because they're not bulky but just perfect

Jessica: Omg, he is so hot!
Melina: He is such a stanislas!
