Schrödinger's Vax

Schrodinger's Vax describes the state of workplace limbo in which one's Covid vaccination status has not been explicitly stated, and although fully vaxxed or not, the employee is expected to behave in a manner consistent with the corporate policies of both states of being.
"Corporate's had Rick double-masking in the front office since January, but he's also the only one the bosses are making do those risky in-home consults."

"Weird double-standard. Think he's had his shots? He's had to have...right?"
"I guess, but maybe not really?... Can he be both?"
"Nah, gotta be one or the other, Schrödinger's Vax is just a thought experiment."

Schrödinger's Populist

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.
Alexander Boris DePfeffel Johnson is the archetypal Schrödinger's Populist.

Schrödinger's Mark

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?"

Schrödinger's Shat

When you attempt a fart, but afterwards you think you may have let out a bit of shit in your pants instead. You're not sure though. Until you check, you can't be sure.
