Get the statistically significant other mug.The belief that thermodynamic systems can be expressed using statistics. It is mostly used to more accurately express a system where there are many microstates involving microscopically observable quantities (e.g. kinetic energy of particle 1, 2, 3, ... , n-1, n or Potential energy of particle 1, 2, 3, ..., n-1, n as opposed to quantities like pressure or volume).
What the author of this article should be revising now, Statistical Mechanics (or stat mech as it's more conveniently known) can be described by many physics students as a "cluster-fuck of endless equations and probability distribution functions designed to intentionally screw up their mind altogether".
It is widely known that stat mech is utterly incomprehensible until the actual exam day, when all the nonsensical examples and equations (most notably finding the entropy of an elastic band expressed as a function of the number of links in said band, and the expression of gas molecules as masses on springs) seem to reach perfect clarity and they tend to walk out with at least a 2-1.

Get the Statistical Mechanics mug.The law known as the "Naysayer Bullshit Statistic" means that at least 50% of people with a highly negative view of something are poorly informed about it, haven't tried it to its full potential or are just plain making stuff up to satisfy their bias opinion regardless of whether they know they're wrong or not.

Guy 2 (interjects): "I love finding the z-score of everything!"
Guy 1: "I was telling a story. Stop being such a statisdick."

Teacher: "I know you guys have 3 essays due tomorrow, so I'll just assign you 10 pages of really hard Stats homework tonight. Sound good?"

Get the Statisdick mug.When a person offers up statics during a casual conversation to prove his or her point. However, the stats are not a product of research , but instead a product of here-say. This can be highly annoying because it is difficult to argue with made up stats, considering the vast modes of gathering and processing data related to a phenomenon.

Friend 2: I wouldn't do that dude, 56% of people who have law degrees work in another profession.
Friend: Damn, I better not then . . . (while thinking, "this dude has some made up number to attach to everything" I hate when I get statistic'd by this dude)

Get the statisticock mug.A regular Facebook user who specializes in making statuses that get a ton of likes. This person spends at least 1 hour per day thinking of, and producing, multiple "witty" or "cute" Facebook statuses in order to get the satisfaction of 20 or more likes. After a while, the Statustician begins to accumulate regular "likers" - people who will like the status no matter what it is about. In addition, the statustician will "like" every positive comment on their status and delete any negative ones.

Jeremy: Yeah, it got like 50 likes, and it wasn't even that good of a status.
