Schrödinger's /j 

when a neurotypical makes a questionable post and they slap a “/j” below the post depending on whether the tl gets mad at them or not.

Not to be mistaken for "forgetting to add a tone indicator", a schrödinger's /j can only be considered a schrödinger's /j if either the "joke" is SUPER unclear and it therefore causes a negative reaction or there was no visible punchline and people get mad thinking the post was genuinely serious.

"oomf just said something super ableist and when they got called out they defended themselves by saying they forgot to add /j to their post." "what the hell? that has to be a schrödinger's /j; literally where was the punchline??"

Schrodinger's Joke

A joke which is both funny and not funny at the same time but there is no way of knowing if anyone else will laugh at it until you have told it... But by then it's too late and you will either look like an idiot or a comedy genius.

(After telling a joke) I wasn't sure if you'd get that, it was a bit of a schrodinger's joke.

“You’ve just made Schrödinger’s Joke.”

Schrödinger's Job

"Budget cuts announced. I have Schrödinger's Job until my employer reports who is getting laid off."

Schrodinger's Jester 

When someone is both serious and joking, with the deciding factor being how people react. Often times they are serious, but if people react in a way that they did expect or foresee, a Schrodinger's Jester will claim it is a joke.

Person A: "I am a pacifist until I get angry"
Person B: "That isn't how being a pacifist works"
Person A: "Yes it is!"
Person C: "It actually isn't"
Person A: "It was a joke"

In this scenario, Person A was a Schrodinger's Jester
