Schrodinger's Puberty

Until you look inside the box, your younger relative is both a child and an adult. The last time you saw them they were in a Diaper and now they make complete sentences. Then the next time you look, they're starting highschool. Then they're driving. Then they have their own kid. In your own head they're still a child even when you're talking to them about how to manage a mortgage.

Last time I saw Dani, she was starting high school; Then she went through schrodinger's puberty and got married.

Schrödinger's Code

Code that is never executed might be perfectly bug-free, or it might be spaghetti. Until it is built and a full suite of tests is run against it, there is absolutely no way to know which state it’s in.

John Doe: "Was that code ever run?"
Diana: "No..."
John Doe: "Then it's Schrödinger's Code"

Schrödinger's Adjective

A made-up, highly nuanced adjective that is uttered or written in the moment to simplify a concept. However, whenever the adjective is analyzed, it loses all meaning.

Useful in over simplifications or dubious descriptions.

1: Soccer is just football but with "feet-hands", ya know?
2: Oh yeah, I guess so...
2: Wait, what do you mean by "feet-hands"?
1: I have no clue, guess it was a Schrödinger's Adjective

Schrödinger's Health

The state of feeling both alive and dead at the same time, sometimes physically, sometimes emotionally.

Like depression.

Margaret: Wow Viktor, you look like absolute dog today!
Viktor: Yeah, I think I've got Schrödinger's Health.

Schrödinger's Break

An office reception or lunch that you are expected to attend, unpaid, so that you are neither working (when you would be paid) or off work (when you can choose to not attend).

No, I won't be attending the office potluck. I'm either working or I'm not. I don't believe in Schrödinger's breaks.

schrödinger's romance

Love from afar especially, for a crush (whose requital, or not, depends on the said crush being informed).

She's afraid of telling him, I wonder how long that schrödinger's romance will last.
