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 1: I think I want to go to Law school.
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)
Ordering in a restaurant . . .
Girl: I'll have the Rib eye, rare . . .
Guy: I wouldn't do that, this place uses inorganic beef and each time you order beef here, you are destroying 2.5 acres of farm land.
Girl: I prefer not to get statistic'd when I'm ordering

Get the Statistic'd mug.It is when a statistician, journalist, article writer, or anyone else steals statistics from a different country and uses it as a substitute (as if it came from their own country, when it originally didn't).
I read an article last night, and I found a lot of statistical data theft that riddles and renders it pointless.
I can't believe that anyone would engage in statistical data theft to make a point, without doing their own research with stats and data that comes from our country.

Get the Statistical Data Theft mug.A class taken by many high school students to avoid taking Calculus. Little do they know, it's merely the unaborted result of a drunken one night stand between Math and English that inherited the ugly traits from both of it's parents. This little shit is deceptive. Students will enter the class with high hopes, but as the year progresses they slowly tumble into the black pit of never ending despair and existential dread as they realize that nothing can save them from the void of misery that is the approaching AP Exam.
Student 1: I'm going to avoid taking Calculus by taking AP Statistics.
Student 2: Good luck, fam. I'll pray for you.

Get the AP Statistics mug.The class that uninformed students take in attempt to avoid AP Calculus.
Students begin the year with high hopes, learning about simple probability distributions and elementary data calculations. Around the time the "oh, I don't need to try in this class" attitude sets in, the course picks up and students are slammed with the first difficult concept of the course: Proprties of Linear Regression. While many students can handle this unit, many fall behind and begin contemplating suicide. As the class progresses into Experimental Design and probability models, students are overwhelmed with continuous stress and tears. The concepts are too abstract and students may begin feeling as though the work is pointless. Around this time, they give up.
Shortly after the giving up phase, the class takes a turn to the topic of Inference, which no one actually knows anything about because everyone's sleeping. Confidence Intervals and T-Tests are emphasized. The dreaded Chi-Square tests end the course before the halting AP Exam, and the students are pounded with THE most difficult and grueling AP Examination offered and again get a final taste of how hopeless they really are. After the AP Exam, AP Stats students generally fall to become depressed because this class has quite frankly screwed up their minds. They begin noticing flaws in data all around the world and can't fathom exactly WHY they care.. they have been brainwashed by the one, and the only.. AP Stats.

Jake: Hey dude why are you so down?
Ryan: I just got out of AP Statistics class. Today we did Confidence Intervals for the difference of two proportions and my mind's in a whirl and I can't stop thinking about how my suicide will effect the standard deviation of the US life expectancy.. And the spread of the districution will become skewed right and...

Get the AP Statistics mug.A division of math that requires much writing and analytical thought. Taken by AP nerds, those hellbent on going to the 'best' colleges, or by those with a masochistic streak. Can be taken in place of Caluculus, or, for those who really enjoy self-punishment, concurrently. Mostly taken by seniors.
I'm taking Statistics AP this year because I don't feel like taking Calc AP, but my year wouldn't be hellish enough without it.

Get the ap statistics mug.A significant other whose status is not created by a agreed-upon relationship status but by how much time is spent with them. Could also be considered a behavioral significant other.
Combination of "statistically significant" and "significant other."

Since he spent twice as much time with Karen as with any of the other girls he was dating, his friends called Karen his statistically significant other.
