Stephen Hawking Swirl 

An uncommon, yet unfortunate result of a throw during beer pong where the ball will spin around the rim of the cup, then be ejected out of said cup. The physics of this action are puzzling, some thinking that the ball enters a black hole and then reappears, falling out of the cup. Who knows how it works, apart from Stephen? But it sucks majorly when you lose because each shot results in the swirl.

Craig: Yo, now watch this shot

*Throws ball*
*balls spins around inside of cup*
*Ball levitates and is ejected from of cup*

Chris: Oh damnn, you just got owned by the Stephen Hawking Swirl!

p-hacking 

Exploiting –perhaps unconsciously - researcher degrees of freedom until p<.05.

That finding seems to have been obtained through p-hacking, the authors dropped one of the conditions so that the overall p-value would be less than .05.

She is a p-hacker, she always monitors data while it is being collected.

Hawking

The act of flying a Blackhawk helicopter whilst erratically changing altitudes and airspeeds causing difficulty for subsequent chalks to maintain any type of formation flight that would resemble that of a professional Army/Navy/Air Force Aviator.

Did you see Carl in flight lead last night? He was hawking so bad we almost got sick!

p-hacking 

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.

hanging chad 

"Hanging Chad" became popularized from the 2000 presidential race between George W. Bush and Al Gore.

A "chad" is the fragments of paper left over when you punch a hole in a card. Voters in Florida at the time used Votomatic style punched card ballots. So a "hanging chad" is when you punch a hole in the card, and it doesn't punch the whole way leaving a little piece dangling. A "pregnant chad" is when you attempt to punch a hole, but it just leaves a bulge and doesn't actually punch through.

The controversy came about when "hanging chads" and "pregnant chads" weren't counted by the machine. People's votes weren't counted.

Imagine if you take those tests where you have to fill out the circle completely with a number 2 pencil. But you didn't totally fill the circle out and your answer was marked wrong.

I tried to vote for my favorite guy, but it wasn't counted because I didn't punch the card the whole way through. I left a hanging chad.
