schrödinger's emoticon

Double epic fail of Correction entry for Oct 4th 2014 word of the day. It's :(:
Schrödinger's emoticon is often seen in the popular phrase "Bipolar is awesome!" :):

Schrodinger's Marmite

Something that you love and hate at the same time, like Schrodinger's cat which existed in a state of being both alive and dead. The quantum superposition of the two emotions (love and hate) may collapse at some point in the future.

Schrodinger's Marmite can be used instead of the term Love Hate Relationship
Bill "I really like watching YouTube videos"
Ted "I have a love hate relationship with it, for me it's Schrodinger's Marmite"
Bill "oh you are just too clever for me"

Schrödinger's Virgin

In accordance to the thought experiment devised by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger, the schrodinger´s virgin is the individual who cannot prove their first act of sexual intercourse due to a lack of tangible evidence. That is, he finds himself in a quantum superposition as a result of a subatomic event that may or may not have occured.
"Bro I finally lost my virginity!"
"With whom?"
"...you dont know her. She lives in Canada."
"Your a Schrödinger's Virgin because we dont kow if thats true"

Schrödinger's Cat

To add to Nope4810's definition...

"Schrödinger's Cat is actually so complicated that even though I tried to explain it in the simpliest terms I could, I made no sense."

...Don't worry. The analogy is supposed to not make sense. Schrödinger was trying to illustrate how absurd it is to apply quantum mechanics on a macro scale.
Schrödinger's Cat is a deliberately confusing analogy trying to show how absurd the theory behind it actually is.

Schrödinger's crap

When you feel a rumbling in your rectum but you'll never know if it's a fart or a poo until you "open the box" by which time the death mass has already been released. Thus, it exemplifies the graceful paradox of the traditional Schrödinger's Cat, yet manages at the same time to make it more accessible to the common person.
1. In order to fart you need to eat, but once you eat you might need to poo instead, so you never can be sure whether you're going to want to fart or poo. This is an eloquent summary of the tragic human condition which can be abbreviated to "Schrödinger's crap".

2. I can't decide whether I want to go to see Harry Potter or Casino Royale. I'll probably know after I sit down in the theater. It's a Schrödinger's crap.

Schrödinger's emoticon

The emiticon that is never seen is both happy and sad at the same time.
If you had to display Schrödinger's emoticon it would be in a box to remain unobserved -> ⬜
If you were to look at it, it would have a determined, singular state.

Schrodinger's Crap

A variant on the famous "Schrodinger's Cat" thought exercise, which questions the living or dead status of a cat locked in a box with a randomly-released toxic gas.

In a Schrodinger's Crap situation, a form of uncertainty principle is applied to certain types of bowel movements which defy pre-emergence classification. It is impossible to accurately predict their state until after it has emerged, by which point it is too late.

Parameters:
1. Something in your rectum is trying to get out.
2. It will be a solid, or a liquid, or a gas. And no other. (No plasmas, etc.)
3. If its final state is gaseous, you can liberate it with minimal concern.
4. If it is either liquid or solid, it will require further steps for successful disposal.

The paradox lies in the fact that the exact state of a Schrodinger's Crap cannot be accurately deduced before opening the system to observation. But opening the system to observation is fatal to the system's continued existence, as the toxic gas is already released. Followed to its logical extreme, the Schrodinger's Crap theory posits that the contents of the system are ALL OF: a solid, a liquid, and a gas - simultaneously.

(Note: the word "uncertainty" also has the word "taint" in it. Coincidence? I think not.)
HMB: Dude, you're walking funny.

HDT: I can't help it. I feel like I wanna fart, or maybe take a dump. But I can't figure out if I'm going to "gamble and lose". I feel like I'm touching cloth.

APLR: Wait, I have an answer. Your digestive system is entirely described by a single state function, "psi". For every observable, "A", there is a corresponding Hermitian Operator, "A^". The result of measuring "A" must be an eigenvalue of "A^". If such an operator has eigenvalue "a" and corresponding eigenstate "phi", then the probability of measuring "a" is the positive value of ("phi"|"psi") all squared. If the result of a measurement of "A" is "a", then the state of the system changes to the eigenstate "phi". Between measurements, "psi" evolves according to the Time-Dependent Schrodinger Equation.

HMB: ...

HDT: ...

APLR: What this means in layman's terms is that the state of your bowel movement cannot be independently observed without opening the system and releasing toxic gases. You have a Schrodinger's Crap situation.

HDT: ... and now I am touching socks.
