schrodinger 

DUMB VERSION:
someone who fucking put a cat in a box with something dangerous that would have a 50% chance to kill the cat so that he could explain "paralell universes" better
GOOD VERSION:
schrodinger (1887-1961) was a man who wanted to describe that...feeling...when...a path forks, and...how to emphasize on that. so, he made "schrodinger's cat", a tale as old as time, where he stuffed a cat in a box, and put something dangerous in it (we actually don't know what it was) that had a 50% chance of killing the cat. now, this setup resulted is something interesting: WE DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAT IS DEAD OR ALIVE, UNTIL WE LIFT THE LID ON THE BOX. this shattered the universe and duplicated it, where there were now TWO of the exact same universe that of which only difference was a cat that was dead and one that was alive. he had single handedly described the fork in the road...PARALELL UNIVERSES.

Schrödinger 

A Schrödinger is someone who decides what they meant by something only after seeing the reaction to it. A good example of this is Schrödinger's Douchebag, which is commonly defined as "Someone who says something bad, and decides weather or not it was a joke after seeing the reaction to it." Another example is someone who sends a risky text and says they accidentally sent it to the wrong person if the reaction to the text is negative.
Person One: This person asked me out and said it was a dare when I rejected them.

Person Two: That definitely wasn't a dare, they were just being a Schrödinger.
