Statistical Inception

A formula inside of a formula inside of a formula inside of another formula

Bob: Wow I have to use a stupid formula to find the test statistic for a sample size of n, but in order to do that I have to find SE(y) which is s divided by the square root n and in order to find that I have to find s. But, in order to find s i have to calculate the sample mean...

Jim: Damn that sounds like Statistical Inception!

Todd is a suicidal transguy. He's already a statistic child, since nobody really loves him... hopefully he'll overcome that.

Statistical Data Theft

It is when a statistician, journalist, article writer, or anyone else steals statistics from a different country and uses it as a substitute (as if it came from their own country, when it originally didn't).

I read an article last night, and I found a lot of statistical data theft that riddles and renders it pointless.
I can't believe that anyone would engage in statistical data theft to make a point, without doing their own research with stats and data that comes from our country.

familial statism

A form of tyranny that involves accepting power over one’s life from any family member. A familial statist can either be the older relative who controls their children at an unreasonable level, clips their wings, and stunts their growth for selfish purposes... or the younger relative who refuses to grow up and get their life in order on their own merits. You could sponge off any one of your relatives, or vice versa — be an enabler, and be considered a familial statist.

Andrew is a bootlicking familial statist. He really needs to stop living off his mommy, get out of the basement, and into the world. Get a job Andrew, familial statism is a passive disease and you need to buck up a bit.
