hawking a loogie

hacking a loogie hauking a loogie loogie

When thinking of all the AGW pseudoscience swallowed by the GAC (Global Alarmist Church ... pronounced as G-A-C-K-K-K-K !!! with a gutteral ending as if you have a throat clogged with nasty phlegm and you are "hawking a loogie") you get an overwhelming involuntary reflex to spit on the nearest climatologist).

Steven Hawkings soup eater

A person who eats soup and dribbles it all down their shirt and, despite this, outright refuses to use a straw.

Oh dear, Gary is in 'Steven Hawkings soup eater' mode again, dribbling tomato soup all down his tee shirt.

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.
