Manipulation of statistics such that the desired outcome assumes "statistical significance", usually for the benefit of the study's sponsors. Usually done by ex post facto choice of significance labels and simple reporting of results as being conclusive regardless of calculated p-value. This depends on the public's general lack of understanding of statistical measures and press non-reportage of details.
Also the basis of nutrition research.

Study: "Soy protein was shown to reduce cancer rates in rats with a p <1.0" (effectively random data)
Next day's headline: "Soy Cures Cancer"
Sales soar 1000%
p-hacking = Profit.

Vitamin P is code for Prolintane. Prolintane is a stimulant of norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors developed in the 1950s. This is a pretty awesome stimulant that is sometimes used by overachievers and nootropic freaks. The dose range is 20mg to 40mg and the duration is 7 hours to over 12 hours. It is a mild stimulant with a very good safety profile. It works best if cycled(some time on Vitamin P, some time off Vitamin P). It has recently gained popularity among college students and professionals. The one side effect is that you may become a chatterbox while on Vitamin P. Prolintane is a nootropic with a better safety profile than propylhexedrine, cyclopentamine and caffeine. Prolintane is often referred to as Vitamin P and can go for as much as $20 dollars per 40mg dose. Doses of 40mg or more or continual use without breaks makes you hyper. Vitamin P makes you courageous, but you may seem to bold and occasionally act like a talkative nutbar. Your mind would literally feel like it's been overclocked. Vitamin P has no withdrawal effects and seems like a hybrid of caffeine

College student 2: I've got some Vitamin P!
College student: How much? I really have so much work, I'll need a super brain for it all.
College student 2: I'll give you 100mg for $20.
College student : Cool!
3 weeks later!
College student: I'm amazed by the increase in organization skills, better memory and focus, more energy, and lack of withdrawal simptoms. It's best in the morning though. I feel great! This is like the precious NZT and it's all mine. ALL MINE! Must stock up on prolintane, hydrafinil, phenylpiracetam hydrazide, and all cognitive enhancing substances.
College student 2: I've think you've gone mad with power.
College student: Of course I did! Have you ever tried going mad without power?! It sucks! Nobody listens to you.

A nicer way of using the word pussywhipped -- this way of spelling it also bypasses the onboard censors found on many BBSs.

A nickname we call this awful playoff performer called Paul George, who plays for the Los Angeles Clippers. Thanks to his shitty playoff performance in 2020, he gained the nickname Wayoff P, because his shots are always “way off”. This nickname was given to Paul after the Clippers blew a 3-1 lead against the Denver Nuggets in the second round.
Clippers Bandwagon: Paul George was 4-16 today, and he fucking hit the side of the backboard. Might as well call him Wayoff P. Fuck the Clippers, I’m a Lakers Fan now.
