The alter ego to the character Walter White in the beloved Breaking Bad tv show. The term Heisenberg was originally used by Walter as a way of concealing his identy so no one know that he was Heisenberg, but soon the name Heisenberg became a legend in it of itself as the characters Crystal Methampetamine (referred to as blue sky occasionaly because of its blue color) and perhaps the world’s highest chemical purity (generally ranging in the late 90%) and by the end of the show (Spoilers) Heisenberg is often used to mock Walter due to the complete and utter collapse of his drug empire.

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

Verb that expresses the concept that the act of talking about a phenomenon changes the phenomenon. For example, if you see a squirrel come within 5 feet of where you are sitting, and you attempt to alert your companions, the act of alerting them will scare off the squirrel.

Taken from Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, which holds that it is not possible to know with certainty both the position and the momentum of a particle. The act of measuring either variable changes the other.
Dude, I would have shown you the squirrel, but I was afraid that I would have heisenberged it.

When a member of the female sex shaves everything but her "lips". Much like Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. The perfect receptacle for a Jesse Pinkman.
Dude 1: So did you hook up last night?
Dude 2: Yeah but her growler had the worst Heisenberg I had ever seen!
Dude 1: Shit man! what did you do?!
Dude 2: Well I stole my sisters Jesse Pinkman and used that of course!
Dude 1: ....

v. To be one-upped in a normally confident situation so badly that the only possible course of action is to accept defeat and walk away.

2: "Yeah well it's my house, if you don't like it you can leave."
3: "Heisenberg that hoe!"

Ex: To Heisenberg your mother in law.

The last great German airship of the 1930's. It crashed because they could say where it was, or how fast it was going, but never both at the same time........

A Physicist's joke, based on a combination of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and the German airship Hindenburg.

Look here, you white, so you are Walter White, so you Heisenberg....

Look at that Heisenberg over there drinking that pumpkin spice latte.

I was riding with my one Heisenberg friend, he got pulled over by the cops, and they let him go without a ticket!
